Against a breathtaking backdrop of the Klausenpass, a cow is seen gracefully suspended in mid-air as it is transported by helicopter from its summer sojourn in the high Alpine meadows. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into the annual tradition known as "Alpabzug" where cows are carefully guided down from their mountain pastures to lower altitudes before winter arrives.

As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring scene, we are reminded of Switzerland's rich agricultural heritage and its enduring respect for traditions that have shaped rural life for generations.
