Matt Lauer Presents on Switzerland from the Jungfraujoch

Anchorman Matt Lauer recently presented a segment on the Today Show:

Where in the world is Matt? Standing on 'top of Europe'

which is well worth a viewing. (Be sure to scroll down to see all pieces of his show, as each one is presented in a different video clip.)

In his Swiss TV appearance, one will see many Swiss treasures that Alpen Schatz makes available to its customers around the world.

Note the "in" hat of the Alps that Matt is wearing, the popular Austrian brand called Eisbär, which Alpen Schatz carries in it's shop every winter. He also talks about the Swiss Cows with their classic Cow Bells, the most well known Swiss Breed dog, the St Bernard with its Swiss Keg, and traditional Swiss Yodeling, that is reminiscent of our Yodeling Marmots - whose pristine yodel is actually one of the top yodeler's in the Alps!
