Switzerland is seeking UNESCO recognition for yodelling as intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing its origins as a communication tool among Alpine shepherds and its ongoing role in Swiss identity.
The bid, to be reviewed December 8–13, highlights around 12,000 practitioners in 780 clubs, technical skill in voice shifting, and global influences including American country and Latin fusions.
Unlike past joint efforts, Switzerland is pursuing the nomination independently, with formal preservation through education, including a master’s program at Lucerne University since 2018.
