Swiss customs and traditions

Jazmin Williamson's picture
Introduction:

In Switzerland, there are 26 cantons. Each canton (section) of the country has its own constitution, laws, customs and traditions. Switzerland is a country that was created by people from many European countries, so it has four official languages--French, German, Italian, and Romansh--and is influenced by many other cultures. Despite the differences between the cantons, the people in these regions share similar traditions from music to dancing to food.  

What tradition did I learn about?:

Two traditions that I learned about early in my time in Switzerland were folk dancing and raclette dinners!
