The Wetterhorn mountain in Grindelwald The majestic Eiger mountain: She protects the village Candle lit lanterns were strewn all over town The procession of men with traditional cow bells ringing as the bell hit their knees in unison Food stalls on the streets were aglow, especially these Raclette machines producing melty hot cheese to eat with potatoes and pickles. Yum! Everyone was invited to follow the procession to the fireworks location Fireworks were going off everywhere and almost lit up the nearby Alps My neighbor's house with a rainbow
Rubi in the Rough: Alpine Festivities
by Danielle Rubi
Paris-based PHOTOGRAPHER, foodie, and OC blog correspondent DANIELLE RUBI sends us an update from Switzerland!

I'm on my latest adventure in my father's hometown of Grindelwald, Switzerland. Last week the country celebrated its independence day with a street festival involving melted cheese, fireworks, cowbell-clad countrymen, grilled sausages, local Rügenbrau beer, and candlelit paper lanterns. It was truly a magical evening. I missed being in my other home of California for last month's July 4th summer festivities, but I don't mind being warmed with raclette and chilled with Alpine air from the Swiss version.
