History Main / YodelLand

* Heinrich von Sugarbottom of ''ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'' fame is clearly a Yodel Lander. Up to and including chocolate in a fondue-style kettle.

* "Switzerland" is a bonus in ''SuperSmashBros Melee''. Don't attack, take no damage.

** And several others providing good possibility for heavy ship traffic, both tourism and freight. In fact, if you think, that just because Switzerland and Austria have no coast line, speaking about their fleets must be jokes, you YouFailGeographyForever.

** Said Rich Son of a Bitch's little sister, however, plays it more or less straight. She's gentle, polite, soft-spoken, homely, and used to have long hair in braids.

* ''SoraNoWoto''

* Saint Bernard dogs (usually with brandy casks around their necks)
** The thing is- the St. Bernard's dogs have [[DeadUnicornTrope never carried brandy]].

** Lederhosen

** Dirndl dresses

** Often overweight

* ''[[{{Heidi}} Alpen no Soujo Heidi]]'', and how. To be fair, it's based on a novel that ''thrives'' on YodelLand (see below).

** In ''QuantumOfSolace'' a performance of Tosca takes place in Austria.

* Most of the action in the JamesBond movie ''OnHerMajestysSecretService'' takes place in Switzerland much of it at ski resorts.
** A small part of ''{{Goldfinger}}'' also takes place in Switzerland (while he's following Goldfinger's car).
*** Most of the rest of the portrayal of Switzerland in ''Goldfinger'' avoids this trope, however. In fact, it revolves around Switzerland's heavy industry (Goldfinger's metallurgical plant), hardly part of the typical image.
** Also parts of ''ForYourEyesOnly'' takes place in Switzerland, while in ''TheLivingDaylights'' we see a very stereotypical Vienna. And in ''QuantumOfSolace'' a performance of Tosca is set in Austria.
*** It has to be said that IanFleming the man himself harboured a genuine love for the Germanic parts of the Alps (and for winter sports, in a time when they were an elitist pastime reserved for the moneyed travelers) and several times he had James Bond in German-speaking Swiss cantons, Austria, Bavaria and the likes, so it's only natural that these sceneries featured heavily in the movies.

* ''TheSoundOfMusic'' ventures into this area with the song "Edelweiss" and the yodeling-heavy marionette song about the lonely goatherd.

* In David Drake and S.M. Stirling's ''TheGeneral'', the Halvardi are Swiss barbarian analogues.
