Story
The Dance of the Edelweiss... An Alpine legend about the cycle of life and communion with the earth.

In the high valleys of Switzerland, where glaciers whisper ancient secrets and cowbells mark the rhythm of time, an ancestral festival is celebrated every autumn: the descent from the pastures, known in the local dialect as Alpabfahrt. But few remember its mythical origin, passed down by the elders on nights of the full moon.

Legend tells that centuries ago, when the gods still walked among men, a shepherdess named Liora, daughter of the wind and moss, lived high on Mount Pilatus. Every spring, she led her flock to the celestial meadows, where the flowers spoke and the rivers sang. There, among the edelweiss and shooting stars, the animals grew stronger, and the earth was renewed.

But the balance was fragile. The winter god, Nivor, jealous of the verdant landscape, cast a curse: if the shepherds did not descend before the first snowfall, the mountain would be sealed forever. Liora, heeding the warning of the wise ravens, organized a ceremony to honor the cycle of life. She wove flower crowns, lit ritual fires, and descended with her flock to the sound of alpine horns and songs that mimicked the earth's sigh.

Since then, every year, the villagers repeat the ritual. The cows descend adorned with flowers and mirrors, the children dance wearing masks of forest spirits, and the elders recount Liora's story. It is believed that, if you listen closely, the echo of her song still resonates among the crags.

The festival is not just an agricultural celebration: it is a pact with the mountain, a dance between humans and nature, a promise of respect and renewal.
