Alpine ball

• 29. Jul. 2024

Among the Sennisch events, the Sennenball is the most festive. It is held once a year in one of the inns in the area. It is opened with a ceremonial procession. Two alpine herdsmen lead the way, playing bells. They are followed by pairs of herdsmen with their girls in traditional costume.

The original Appenzell string band still plays today and the traditional dances, the Mölirad, a men's dance, and the Hierig, a love dance involving courtship, quarrelling and reconciliation, are performed.
