Image description

The Tschaeggaettae in the Loetschental valley, Canton Valais, is a carnival custom. The young men of the valley wear masks made of Swiss stone pine, sheep or goat skins and cowbells and perform between 3 February and Gigis Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally they followed the women and children and rubbed them with snow, but now and then they also need a breather, undated recording around 1940.
