It is impossible to think of Lötschental in the Valais in Switzerland without its frightening figures - the Tschäggättä.   The Tschäggättä are created to scare aware the winter and have been a feature of the Lötschental carnival festivities for generations.  Now guests can carve their own souvenir masks from wood in the Lötschentaler carpenter's shop under expert guidance and with lively tales of primitive customs in the magic valley.  

Veronica adds “These masks are synonymous with the valley.   Giving guests the chance to create their own really helps guests understand the local culture and traditions, as well as having the chance to learn more stories and local customs.   Skiers can take home a souvenir that actually means something and helps bring alive memories of ski trip and the people that made it memorable.”
