Bordered by the towering peaks of the Swiss Alps, the tidy farmhouses and pastures of Appenzell are a picture-perfect postcard from rural Switzerland. This is a region where traditional Swiss culture is still very much alive, with cheese-making and carpentry among the most common crafts. Wander the narrow streets of the villages, lined with brightly painted wooden houses, and stop in at a local cafe for a coffee and a slice of Apfelstrudel. In the evenings, the locals gather in the squares to listen to music and dance.
