Is the Swiss celebration to welcome spring

The Engadin school children drive away winter with bells and songs. Children go from door to door singing and receive sweets in return.

Early morning, young boys with big bells (you may know them as the typical swiss souvenier bells) as the cows wear them on the alps, are strolling through the villages of the Engadin (the upper Inn valley, Canton of Graubunden) and ring the bells whilst elder boys try to keep the group of youngsters together, using whips. A noisy spectacle which is to drive out the winter.
