Quick Summary

Dressed-up cows made an appearance at Gstaad's annual Züglete festival on Saturday, parading through the town centre and promenade with floral crowns. Several herds participated in the event, which marks the traditional move of cows from summer pastures to winter farms. The festival drew crowds and visitors from abroad, including two tourists who planned their trip specifically around seeing the Züglete. The decorated cows will continue on to their winter homes, a journey they'll reverse in spring when they return to the Alps.
