瑞士以其一年四季的美景而闻名于世。春天，这里有喷涌而出的瀑布；夏天，阿尔卑斯山的草甸上开满了野花；冬天，在白雪皑皑的山坡上可开展各种令人振奋的体育运动。而秋天呢，茂密的森林、连绵的葡萄园和村庄里都是落叶，遍地一片金黄。
瑞士有大约5.35亿棵树，因此平均每位居民对应有66棵树。大约有三分之一的树木是落叶树。
瑞士的秋天可以说是这个国度最美的季节，因为从9月到11月，无数的阔叶树上的叶子会变成黄色、橙色、红色和焦铜色，最后再飘落到大地。
在这个季节，空气里弥漫着一丝丝寒意，奶牛从阿尔卑斯山上的牧场回来，身上挂着鲜花花环，餐厅的餐桌上摆放着当季的特产，古色古香的小木屋里飘出燃烧木材的袅袅炊烟。
要想去徒步旅行、骑自行车、观察野生动物，搭乘火车或通过公路旅行游览欧洲风景如画的自然小径、葡萄园、湖泊和山景，没有比秋天更好的时机了。套上一件毛衣，系好你那双耐磨的登山靴出发吧。
在雷梭勒家族办公室总部的所在地——纳沙泰尔地区，“多蕾”是一个世代相传的传统，亲朋好友们在牧场上生一堆篝火，然后在火堆中烹烤特制的香肠和土豆，并一起分享。根据传统，“多蕾”一般在秋天举办，四周围绕着一片多彩的树木和绿色的草地。
“多蕾”如果没有纳沙泰尔腊肠，就不是真正的“多蕾”。在晴空万里的天气里，在树林的边缘地带点燃火堆。用卷心菜叶、肉店里包肉用的厚纸、报纸或铝箔裹起腊肠，再用绳子绑起来，在火堆中挖一个空洞，把腊肠放在里面，用火堆盖住。铝箔可用可不用。如果你只用包肉用的厚纸或报纸来包裹腊肠，那么一定要将被裹住的腊肠浸入水中。需要将纸泡湿，以防止它被烧焦，同时可使得烹制食材的火候适当。可烹制腊肠40-50分钟，土豆20-25分钟。
然后，“多蕾”就可以与土豆、沙拉、面包以及其他食物一起享用了，还可以搭配一杯白葡萄酒和一勺芥末酱，以带出肉的所有美味。这一纳沙泰尔独有的习俗，现已成为与家人和朋友一同出游的乐事，但它最初的作用纯粹是功利性的。在每年特定的一天，当地农民会着手清理侵占其土地的树木和其它植被。他们会带上香肠，砍掉树木和灌木后生成火堆，然后烹制香肠。虽然如今办多蕾纯粹是为了娱乐和享受，但对自然环境的尊重仍然被参与者挂在心头，他们会尽一切努力，以恰当的方式收集和处理垃圾。这一深受喜爱的传统已经成为该地区的代名词。
雷梭勒家族办公室于近日首次举办了“多蕾”活动，邀请我们在瑞士的朋友和家庭，带上他们的孩子，与我们的团队一道，享受了一天郊游的乐趣。我们希望这场活动，对于到场的父母和孩子们来说都同样有趣，目的是让每个人都能够围绕一堆温暖的篝火，参与到食物的准备与烹制当中。
当所有人都在雷梭勒的办公室集合之后，我们穿好保暖的衣服和鞋，一起驱车前往一个靠近多彩秋林的幽静之所。
当我们抵达目的地时，一些提前到达的雷梭勒团队成员，已经在开始准备生起一堆温暖的篝火，并将木桌装饰成了秋天的颜色。其余的人一到现场，大家就开始四处搜寻生火的木材。一定要根据木材的厚度提前生火，因为木材变成红得发光的余烬需要时间，香肠和土豆需要在燃烧的余烬中烤制。不宜用太薄的木材，太薄的木材无法产生足够持久的余烬，给香肠和土豆提供适当的火候。也不宜使用太厚的木材，因为让它生成发光的余烬需要更长时间。你需要在两者之间找到一个平衡点，以便让生成的火有着恰到好处的炽热余烬。
当篝火烧得炙热时，每个人都开始参与到这项传统膳食的准备工作中。我们临时搭建了一个专门用于包裹香肠的工作坊。雷梭勒团队的成员为大家做了示范，其他成员则一丝不苟地开始用传统方法，包裹起美味的当地香肠来。
在包香肠的过程中，碰巧有几位老师带领一个班的小朋友在此经过，于是在我们的邀请下，他们愉快地来到篝火边加入了我们。一下子，我们身边充满了这群小孩子们的欢快笑声。
在瑞士，每个篝火都是向所有人开放的公共空间。我们非常乐意与他们分享这个地方，我们甚至将我们准备的第二堆篝火给了他们自己使用。他们所要做的就是在已经烧得正旺的火堆上烹饪食材。在瑞士，这种户外活动非常普遍，它也是瑞士教育体系的一个组成部分。事实上，在瑞士，人们相信与同学、朋友、兄弟姐妹或父母一起在户外度过美好的时光，对孩子们的成长起着重要作用。
当我们把一包包香肠和土豆放在余烬中间，并用铲子将它们埋好后，又往火里添加了更多的干柴，以生成更多的新的余烬。乡下的大多数篝火烧烤通常都配有一个烤架，方便你烹调肉、鱼和蔬菜。我们使用了烤架来烹饪蔬菜，以保持食材的温度。
我们可以自豪地说，我们今天的团队是非常独特、团结和多元化的。我们的团队成员中，有一位瑜伽教练。她很乐意能够与团队成员和客户分享她对于瑜伽的热爱。因此，我们临时决定，在当天的活动中增加一门瑜伽体验课。除了雷梭勒团队的部分成员需要照看着所有食材的烧烤，其余的人则在秋色中的山毛榉树林里参加瑜伽课程。
在教练的指导下，我们开始了初级瑜伽课程。通过几次深呼吸的调整，让我们重新感受到了当下，感受到秋天的清新和湿润的气息。战士姿势使课堂活跃起来，让我们的身体得到了锻炼。
每个人都专心致志地参与进来，逐渐地集中精力，跟随一系列动作协调呼吸。在不平稳且略显柔软的地面上，平衡姿势是一个真正的挑战。随之而来的笑声，给这堂瑜伽课带来了乐趣和与放松。最后我们以伸展运动结束，让所有的肌肉得到放松。
瑜伽课结束后大约45分钟，我们挖出了一根香肠来看是否熟透。香肠确实烤得恰到好处，当我们开始拆开包装时，香肠里已经冒出美味的汁水，卷心菜也已十分入味。大家看到拆开后的食物，都很高兴。你可以听到每个人发出的欢呼声，就像小孩子在拆开圣诞礼物一样开心。之后，大家就围坐在之前准备好的餐桌旁，一起开心地享受起了这顿亲手做出来的传统美味。
欢聚的时间总是过的太快。在清理了所有垃圾之后，我们和各位朋友们各自返回自己温暖的家中。但是这充实而愉快的一天，将给每个参与的大人和孩子，留下美好的记忆。
这次“多蕾”野炊活动办得非常成功和愉快，两代人在瑞士秋色的美景中尽情享受，有很多讨论，很多笑声，各种游戏，甚至还有一节充满活力的瑜伽课！虽然 “多蕾”已经是当地的传统项目，但我们相信， “雷梭勒家族办公室的多蕾”也将很快成为我们的一个传统。这不仅仅是一场普通的户外烧烤派对，它有着更丰富的含义——所以，我们期待着明年有更多的朋友们来加入我们的聚会！
英文原文
«La Torrée»
- a traditional autumn event organized by LSFO
Switzerland is world-renowned for its seasonal beauty. Gushing waterfalls in spring; alpine meadows covered with wildflowers during summer, and exhilarating winter sports on snow-covered slopes. But what about autumn, when dense forests, rolling vineyards and villages are a riot of golden foliage？
Switzerland is home to approximately 535 million trees, 66 trees per inhabitant. About one-third of the trees are deciduous.
The country’s third season is arguably the prettiest time to be in Switzerland as countless leafy trees turn yellow, orange, red and burnished bronze from September to November before their delicate leaves tumble to the ground.
With the merest hint of a chill in the air, this is the time when the cows return from their alpine pastures adorned with garlands of fresh flowers, seasonal specialities grace restaurant tables, and woodsmoke curl from the chimneys of picturesque timber chalets.
There’s no better time than autumn to slip on a sweater, lace up your trusty pair of walking boots and go hiking, biking, wildlife-watching and touring by rail or road via some of the most picturesque nature trails, vineyards, lakes and mountain scenery in Europe.
Since generations “La Torrée” is a living tradition in the Neuchatel region, home of LSFO, that consists of preparing a big fire in a pasture and cooking special sausages and potatoes in the embers. It’s traditionally done in the autumn surrounded by the colourful trees and green meadows.
A “torrée” is not a proper “torrée” without a saucisson neuchâtelois. On a sunny day, a fire is lit at the edge of a forest. The sausage is wrapped in cabbage leaves, butcher paper, newspaper or aluminium foil, tie it up with a string, form a hollow in the embers place the sausages inside and cover with embers. Aluminium foil is optional, if you only use butcher paper or newspaper to wrap the sausage, it is very important to dip the sausage rolled in newspaper in water. The paper needs to be soaked with water. It prevents it to burn and allow the ingredient to cook properly. Let the sausage cook between 40-50 minutes and the potatoes 20-25 minutes.
It is then served with potatoes, salad, bread as well as other treats including a glass of white wine and a spoonful of mustard to bring out all the delicious flavours of the meat. This custom which is exclusive to Neuchâtel has become a fun day out with family and friends, but originally served a purely utilitarian function. On a particular day every year local farmers would set about clearing away trees and other vegetation that encroached on their land. They would bring a sausage with them, which they would cook on a huge fire made from the trees and bushes they had felled. Although the torrée is practised nowadays purely for fun and enjoyment, respect for the natural environment is still a concern for those involved, with every effort taken to collect and dispose of their rubbish appropriately. This much-loved tradition has become synonymous with the region.
For the first time LSFO organized a “Torrée” to enjoy a day out with our families and the LSFO team. Equally fun for parents and kids, the objective is that everybody is participating in the organization and execution of the meal around a big warming fire. We all met at the office, well dressed in warm clothes with good shoes and drove to a remote place near to the colourful autumn forest.
Some of the LSFO team had already started preparing a warming fire and decorated wooded tables in autumn colours. Once the rest of the group arrived on site, everybody started scouting the area looking for some wood to feed the fire. Depending on the thickness of your wood it is important to prepare the fire in advance since it takes time for the wood to become red glowing embers you want to cook your sausages and potatoes in the burning embers. You don’t want to use too thin wood otherwise it will not give you the durable embers required for a proper baking for the sausages and potatoes. It is also not a good alternative to use too thick wood since it will take much longer to transform it in glowing embers. You need to find an in-between in order to create a fine fire with blazing embers.
While the fireplace was brightly burning, everybody started to get involved with the preparation of the traditional meal. We had a workshop specially dedicated to the wrapping of the sausages. The LSFO team member showed the way and the rest of the group meticulously started to wrap the delicious local sausages in the traditional method.
During the sausages wrapping workshop, a class of little kids accompanied by several teachers joined us at the fireplace. The place was swarmed by little joyful children. In Switzerland, every fireplace is a public space open to everybody. We were more than happy to share the place with them and we even gave them our secondary bonfire for their own purpose. All they had to do is cook their ingredient above the already blazing fire. Actually, this kind of field trip is very common and is an integral part of the Swiss education system. In fact, in Switzerland it is believed spending quality time outside with classmates, friends, siblings or parents play an important role in the development of the children.
After we placed the packets of sausages and the potatoes in the middle of the embers and with the help of a shovel buried them properly, we added more dry wood on top of the fire to create even more fresh embers. Most of the fireplace in the country usually have a grill so you can easily cook your meat, fish and vegetables. We used the grill to cook our vegetables and keep the ingredients warm.
Today we can proudly say our team is very unique, united and diversified. We have the chance to have a yoga instructor among our team members. She has the pleasure to share her passion occasionally with our team and the clients. So, we decided to add a yoga session to the program of the day. While all the ingredients were cooking in the blazing embers and under the surveillance of some members of LSFO. The rest of the group attended the session in the forest between the beech trees in the colours of autumn, our instructor guided us through a beginner’s yoga class. A few deep breaths reconnected us to the present moment and let us feel the freshness and the humid scents of autumn. The warrior postures enlivened the class and toned us up.
Everyone participated attentively, concentrating progressively to follow the flow of movements coordinated with the breath. The balancing postures were a real challenge on the unstable and slightly soft floor. The laughter that followed was part of the fun and relaxation of a yoga class. At the end, the stretching relieved all the muscles.
After the yoga session around 45 minutes later we digged out one sausage to control the cooking process. The sausages were indeed well cooked. We started to unwrap the packets, the sausages were oozing, and the cabbages were soaked with the juice. It was a delightful sight for anybody around witnessing the unwrapping of the packets. You could hear the amazement of each participant, like little children unwrapping some Christmas gifts.
A very successful and joyful event where two generations enjoyed themselves in the beauty of Swiss autumn colours with lots of discussions, lots of laughter, games and even a session of energising yoga! While “Torrée” already is a regional tradition, the “Torrée by LSFO” will soon become a tradition as well! It is much more than just an outdoor barbecue party – so join us next year!!
