On March 1, colourful groups process noisily through the villages of the Engadine valley in south-eastern Switzerland. Dozens of children and teenagers, wearing blue shirts and red caps, pass through the narrow lanes, singing and ringing cow bells in every square and round every fountain. Some of the ones taking part in the village of Ardez talk about their love of the tradition. (Luca Beti and Rolf Amiet, swissinfo.ch)
