The Hollywood Atlas version of Switzerland, as well as Bavaria, Austria, Northern Italy, and other regions in or near the Alps — in fact, any place in Germany is also frequently part of Yodel Land in the Hollywood Atlas. A quick guide: Scenery: The Alps: The Matterhorn High and unreachable sharp mountain peaks with dangerously narrow and unstable pathways Expensive ski resorts Edelweiss (makes up some 80-90% of all non-generic flowers in Yodel Land) Avalanches Weather: either sunny and freezing cold or severe blizzard The valleys: Peaceful evergreen pastures with goats and/or cows Large, half-timbered houses Avalanches Weather: either sunny and warm or romantic snowfall The Black Forest (which isn't part of any of the aforementioned regions) Appearance: Men: Lederhosen (often inaccurately depicted in places where they have never been traditional, e.g. most of Germany and all of Switzerland) Tyrolean hats (little green felt hats with a tuft of fur in the band) or Oktoberfest hats Huge, twirly, bushy funny-looking handlebar mustaches Monocles or glasses Gray beards (if they're past 55) Women: Long blonde hair (usually in braids) Dirndl dresses (cf. Lederhosen for inaccurate geographical/cultural application) Aprons Curvaceous with an ample bosom (older women will often be overweight) General: Tall and slender (if they're young) or short and stocky (if they're old) Professions: Bankers (Male) for wealthy people's Swiss Bank Account Rich GOLD They're sometimes gnomes Cheesemakers (Male) Chocolatiers (Male) Clock/watchmakers (Male) Woodcarvers (Male) Cow/goat/shepherds (Usually children; more often male than female, but females do appear occasionally.) Alpinists (or guides) (Male) Ski resort owners (Male) Innkeepers (Male) Beautiful blonde-braided girls in cleavaged Bavarian tavern wench dresses (like in Oktoberfest) (Female) Waitresses (See above) Spies (badass if male, beautiful and seductive if female) Hunters (or more commonly, poachers). Hikers Cuisine: Cheese Chocolate Fondue (may be either chocolate or cheese) Brandy Beer (especially around Oktoberfest) Schnitzel, usually wienerschnitzel Sausages Dark rye bread Strudel and desserts with hazelnuts, chestnuts, apples, and Kirsch (cherry liqueur) Wildlife: Goats Cows with big clanking bells Sheep Saint Bernard dogs (usually with brandy casks around their necks) Gulls Ibexes (always aggressive against whomever) Groundhogs (note that groundhogs are native to North America. There are marmots in the Alps, but they're a separate species.) Mountain wildflowers, especially edelweiss. Misc. culture: Yodeling Swiss army knives with 293,487,569,234,756 blades, including absurd/funny ones Extremely precise and expensive Swiss watches Cuckoo clocks, though they weren't in fact invented in Switzerland or anywhere else in the Alps. Invented in the Black Forest, which is usually lumped together with Yodel Land, so it's not that bad a mistake. Alphorns and the Ranz des Vaches Rustic carved wooden bears William Tell Dancing the laendler Cultural values: Neutrality Hospitality Prosperity Punctuality Pedantism |

Switzerland appears as one of the national rally championships in Rally Trophy. The trope is played more realistically than usual, but there's still some minor stereotypes involved, given the game's love for Affectionate Parody humour. Also, expect lots of Scenery Porn while rallying. | |

The "woodcutter" (he's actually an actor teaching himself to cut trees as practice for a role) in Hoodwinked! is portrayed as a Yodel Lander in an otherwise-ambiguous fairy-tale setting. He wears lederhosen, drives a schnitzel truck (this was before food trucks were a thing, mind, so it's meant as a spoof of ice cream vans), and aspires to become a professional yodeler—and does, in the end, as part of a singing group called The Sound of Munich. The kids who buy his schnitzel look the part too. | |

The city of Merano, South Tyrol (currently Italian, "used to be Austrian") sometimes is a setting in the musical Chess.note In Real Life, the World Chess Championship match between Karpov and Korchnoi, that was part of the inspiration for the musical, was held in Merano in 1981; a tournament held there in 1924 is responsible for the naming of the Meran Variation. Sometimes Merano isn't included, because the musical seems to be so completely rewritten for each production that there's very little that's canon. | |

In the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Mystara, this is the hat of the Kogolor; the ancestor-race of the modern dwarf and gnome. They are jovial, good-natured, open-minded and friendly inhabitants of forested slopes, dressing in the iconic lederhosen and having a unique racial proficiency in yodeling. Also, whilst their skills as smiths are no greater than humans', they are master brewers. | |

Goofy as Wilhelm Tell. It was set in Yodel Land, and there were lederhosen, cheese, hats with feathers, an alpenhorn, and fondue. Donald Duck has also been Tell once with the Beagle Boys as the enemy and Scrooge McDuck as a not-so-rich-anymore cheese sealer. The famous apple shoot is of course included, but is a bit unusual, since with three nephews there are also three apples to be shot at one time. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers — Japan was forced violently and hilariously out of his Heidi-inspired conception of the country, as its Anthropomorphic Personification subverts this trope hard, being a Gunslinger Rich Son of a Bitch. Which in some official pin-up art is depicted with soldier attire of yesteryear. You wanted to know how Switzerland managed to remain neutral in most of the most recent wars? Now you know. Said Rich Son of a Bitch's little sister, however, plays it more or less straight. She's gentle, polite, soft-spoken, and used to have long blonde hair in braids. And the two are nigh inseparable. Exaggerated in the anime. It has to be seen to be believed. Alluded again in recent sketches, which have Switzerland dressing up as Wilhem Tell and Liechtenstein posing as Tell's son |

Alps Story: My Annette: Played with. It's the story of a girl who lives in the Swiss Alps, based on the novel Treasures Of The Snow, so the mountain setting is very similar to Heidi and one of the main characters is even an aspiring woodcarver. However, it takes place in the French speaking part of Switzerland, not German. | |

Asterix in Switzerland anachronistically depicts "Helvetia" with many Swiss stereotypes: an obsession with cleanliness, fondue, holed cheese, secret banking, a "United Tribes" building, yodeling over alphorns, the invention of the cuckoo clock, and a Flower from the Mountaintop. There is also a subverted attempt at William Telling. | |

In Ruby Gloom, the gang gets a visit from Yodellander twins Uta and Gunther in the episode "Ubergloom". German fans were quite upset, as they didn't expect this show to resort to such stereotypes. | |

According to Richard Wagner's stage directions, the beginning of Rheingold must be set in the Swiss Alps, not far from where Wagner lived when he wrote and composed the opera. | |

Hildegard von Krone from the Soul Series hails from the fictional European Kingdom of Wolfkrone, which is German-speaking (hence her name), has an Alpine look (complete with giant cuckoo-clock/carousel monument) and appears to be located between Germany and Switzerland, according to the artbook released for V. | |

Downplayed in Codename: Kids Next Door. German villain Heinrich von Marzipan only fits the blonde-haired, chocolate-loving stereotypes, but when she's returned to her true self as a girl, she wears her hair in braids. | |

While probably one of the overall best depictions of Germany in any anime, Berlin in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has a few streets that invoke a Yodel Land style. Even considering that in the timeline Berlin was destroyed and rebuild, it looks very out of place to anyone who actually has been to Berlin or northern Germany. | |

The Black Spider is set in a remote Swiss valley. The village and the surrounding forests and prairies are picturesque but not even remotely peaceful, what with the local baron crushing the peasants, and the demonic giant spider terrorizing the valley. | |

Honoo no Alpen Rose, in which an amnesiac girl who once was the Sole Survivor of an accident travels through pre-World War II Switzerland with her boyfriend, both searching for her past and running away both from a Stalker with a Crush and Those Wacky Nazis. Alpen Rose is actually a lullaby that she has struck on her mind, apparently the only real proof of who she is. | |

In Spyro: Year of the Dragon the level Sheila's Alp is this; her allies in the level are German-accented goats in lederhosen and the scenery has a very alpine feel. Oddly, Sheila herself is a kangaroo with an Australian accent. (This may be a Stealth Pun on the fact that Austria is often confused for Australia.) | |
