'Valley of monsters' masks come out for Swiss Tschäggättä February tradition

Lötschental tourism

Local man Manuel Blötzer remembers how he felt, as a little boy, when he first saw them."Frightened… but I wanted to see them. Where did they come from in the night? From above the mountains? Where did they go? I didn't know." On the walls around Albert, masks made by his father and grandfather, complete with real teeth and hair, stare balefully down.

"So they came over to the sunny side, where people were richer and had more food - to steal. And they wore masks to disguise themselves."
