The Tirol Tourist Board is searching for Britain’s Yodel Idol. That’s right, the Board is trying to get Brits to “cast off their reservations” and get yodelling.
Brits are invited to participate in the yodel-off by submitting their entry at www.yodeloff.co.uk for a chance to win a holiday to an Alpine mountain hut for themselves and five friends in August.
Yodelling originated as a way of communicating between the mountain valleys and developed into music and entertainment in Alpine regions across Austria and Switzerland.
Says Eckard Speckbacher, Tirol Tourist Board:
“We decided to celebrate yodelling and use it as a fun way to picture the beauty of our region. If you observe a yodeller’s voiceprint, you can compare it to the mountainous topography of the Tirol’s landscape as it gravitates from peak to peak.”
