Switzerland is a unique land, and festivals in the country are diverse and rich in history. Winter would cut many villages off from one another, and so the celebrations there tended to become very localized. Because of that, there are numerous traditions that survive to this day, and with modern technology making travel between different locales easier than before, people are free to enrich themselves on the bounty that is Swiss festival tradition. Just the month of January alone offers some fascinating choices for fairs in Switzerland. Let's look at two of these coming up next month.
