Appenzell

Welcome to cowbell country. In the moo-mellow and storybook-friendly Appenzell region, you'll find the warm, intimate side of the land of staggering, icy Alps. With just 1 percent of Switzerland's territory and 1 percent of its population, the little canton of Appenzell stubbornly celebrates its way of life. A gentle beauty blankets this region of green, rolling hills, watched over by the 8,200-foot peak of Mount Säntis. As you travel, you'll enjoy an ever-changing parade of finely carved chalets, colorful villages, and cows mooing, "Milk me."
