«Sönd Willkomm» («You are most welcome») to the Appenzellerland
Has time stood still here? And is the Appenzellerland really a part of this
world? You can’t really be sure when you roam through the gently rolling countryside which runs from
the Bodensee to the mighty Alpstein range, home of the Säntis peak. Old farmhouses, sprinkled among
the lush green hills, picturesque landscapes, cows being herded across the roads and friendly, welcoming
faces... Appenzellerland is certainly a world of its own, a place, perhaps, where time has chosen to go
by more slowly.

The International Mountain Cheese Market
From the afternoon of Friday 29th October to the afternoon
of Sunday 31st October (16h00), the centre of Appenzell will be transformed into a cheese lovers’
mecca. Cheeses from all the Swiss and European mountain regions will be offered to visitors for sale and
tastings.
Entry is permitted to all those with a mountain cheese badge which will be available everywhere
for CHF 5.–. This is a date which cheese lovers should not forget to
enter in their diary, because the International Mountain Cheese Market will be a unique gourmet cheese
buffet, with the motto "Immer schön der Nase und dem 'Gluscht' nach!", meaning: "Follow your nose and
your 'fancy'!"
