Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Sept, 11:38

Around 70 alpacas have descended from summer pastures in Switzerland's Bernese Alps to winter quarters.

The alpacas were herded down from the Griesalp area above Kiental, crossing mountain roads and bridges as part of the traditional autumn alpabzug (descent of herds). They were then transported by truck to their winter farm at Aeschi, near Spiez, in the Bernese Oberland.
