"I am looking forward "uhüere" to the Moosalp".

The Moosalpregion is the perfect place to leave everyday life behind. "Hiä chusch ämbri." But next weekend, we're breaking out and making the Moosalpregion shake at the Migros Hiking Sound. We are looking forward to a hiking and music experience in the most beautiful mountain scenery on July 17 and 18. On the Hiking Sounds stage, the Swiss musician Adrian Stern, among others, will enchant the visitors. "I am enormously looking forward to Moosalp," he says in an interview with us.

"Moosalp is a place of power."

The path of life has taken them away from the Moosal region. Because of work, they now live in Basel instead of Bürchen - or in Thurgau instead of Törbel. In their hearts, however, the Moosalpregion remains their home forever. This is also the case for Jan Karlen. In his case, it was his parents who emigrated to Zurich. Today, Jan says about himself: "I'm a homesick Terbjer Chieli!

We take a closer look at the southern alpine tulip.

Handicraft with character from the Moosalp region

It is the old familiar smell of leather that makes many a "terbji" reminisce when he enters the small shoemaker's shop in the heart of the village. Back when there seemed to be so much future and so little past. Not much has changed over the years in the workshop in Fällach - cowbells, shoes for repair, bell straps - there is a kind of "disorder in order" with which only the artist himself knew and the passion for the craft was literally palpable - until today.
