Hello. We will be visiting Switzerland staying in Wengen later this month. I see this event called Fest der Feste is happening during our stay and I was wondering if this was worth checking out. We do not speak German but this event seems like a good way to experience the culture of Switzerland. Any thoughts?

I'm going there (I am Swiss) to check it out. It seems like it will be very food-focused . Most of the festivals sampled there revolve around certain dishes or produce. It is probably more like a big market of people trying to sell you local specialities. Altogether, seems like it might end up being a rather pricey experience. But Ballenberg in and of itself is worth a visit, so I think it's cool

That sounds right up our alley.

Good to know; maybe we can visit the festival and the museum. Thanks.
These things are almost always 200x better than surfing from one tourist trap to another.
I went to the Federal Yodeling festival a while back and it was pretty awesome.
That is my thought as well. My only reservations about visiting this event are: getting there, and only being able to converse in English.
English is plenty in CH.
And Switzerland has the best public transport on earth.
