In many Alpine areas there is a day each year where the cows are brought down from summer pastures and it is a big event, with the cows decorated and wearing extra-big bells, and the townspeople lining the streets to welcome them. The road up is mostly closed to car traffic, as well. I had tears in my eyes for parts of this ride, it was so moving for me.
