Swiss Alps: Why have a cow?
Cows in the Swiss Alps with those dainty bells around their necks can be had — for a price. Near the remote Seealpsee Lake in the Appenzell district (an hour by car east of Zurich), visitors can rent a cow by the month or for the whole summer for $155 to $286.
Courses on milking and cheese making — you can even stay on the farm to be closer to Bossy — are offered too. Take home a photo of you and your cow as a memento. Farms in the Bernese Oberland area have similar programs. Info: (877) 794-8037, myswitzerland.com.
