I couldn't find out much about a native dress. Looks like they were pretty much inhabited by shepherds and such in earlier times.
For art and culture, they appear to be a country that loves sculptures.
I'm not much for skiing...but I love to hike. Anyone want to join me?
I can learn to hike! :) I enjoyed reading this!
