Traditional Swiss

Every year, the town of Frick Switzerland has a three day festival where people gather to compete in Yodeling and Alphorn contests. Since it’s only about twenty minutes to drive there from Basel, we decided to go and see it for ourselves. There were lots of vendors selling their goods in roadside booths, any kind of food you wanted, and of course, plenty of beer for everyone. I’m sure the entire town was attending and thousands of visitors from around the area as well. After walking around for a while, we went to a school house where the Yodeling competition was going on (see video). Next, we went outside to catch the end of the Alphorn competition (see video). All performances were good, and we were glad we made the trip. This is a must do if you’re in Switzerland. See the rest of the pictures here.
