Appenzell

Appenzell sits on the Sitter River in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland, where the rolling pre-Alps lead toward the limestone peaks of the Alpstein range. The town is the cantonal centre of one of Switzerland’s smallest cantons and retains a strongly local identity in its painted façades, shop signs and traditional customs. Appenzell Innerrhoden still holds its annual Landsgemeinde, an open-air cantonal assembly in which eligible citizens vote by a show of hands. The nearby Säntis, the highest summit in the Alpstein, gives this compact town a distinctly alpine setting.
