Alpine Treasures
Its name may conjure images of an amusement arcade with model
Heidis, cuckoo clocks and chocolate bars, but, in reality, Heidiland
is an unexpected treasure of Alpine foothills and peaks, deep
lakes and lovely villages. In short, it's scenery that inspired
Johanna Spyri's Heidi -- the enduring and endearing children's
classic about life in the Swiss Alps -- but which was little known
even within Switzerland until it was controversially repackaged
under the banner of the nation's heroine.
