Although when showcasing at the 1992 World Expo is Seville, the Switzerland pavilion introduced itself using the phrase &#8216;la Suisse n&#8217;existe pas&#8217; (meaning Switzerland does not exist). When asked to describe such an allusive statement, it was said that it is not uniformity, but variety in a small space that defines Switzerland. This has led to numerous regional traditions, with fewer customs celebrated from a national perspective.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Switzerland enjoys a wealth of cultural activity and historic traditions ranging from Alpine farming, to folk traditions celebrated through music, dance, arts and crafts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5115\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5115 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"swiss-pastures\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/swiss-pastures-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swiss pastures perfect for farming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The traditional musical forms of yodeling and alpenhorn are heavily linked to Swiss culture, although both are predominantly celebrated only in specific mountainous areas, and neither originated in Switzerland. The alpenhorn, a trumpet-like instrument carved from wood, was founded in Northern Asia and brought to Europe by nomadic tribesman. Yodeling developed as a form of long distance cow calling, and may find roots in African and Pygmy cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Many festivals and traditional customs are celebrated throughout the winter months in Switzerland, a relatively quiet period for farming lifestyles. The Advent calendar is an important Swiss holiday tradition. Said to help promote patience in children, only one of 24 scenes from the advent are displayed each day until the entire story unfolds on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Another national tradition is Carnival \u2013 celebrated in over 200 communities across Switzerland. With typical Swiss flair, each Carnival is comprised of its own traditions, but typically include masks, parades, colorful costumes and of course, music.<\/p>\n<p>Want to discover Swiss customs and traditions for yourself?
