What defines riding in Appenzell Ausserrhoden?

In no other Swiss region are customs and traditions still so much a part of daily life as in the Appenzellerland. From mid-May, herdsmen in traditional suits drive their cows up to graze on the mountain pastures. The Stobete herders' celebrations feature cameo-ornamented skirts, Milanese shawls, and string music. A cool climate brings long spring and autumn seasons to these pre-alpine landscapes.
