Jardin Botanique Alpin Saussure

The Jardin Botanique Alpin Saussurea is the highest alpine botanical garden in Europe, located at 2,173 meters above sea level. It covers an area of 7,000 square meters and is home to around 900 species of plants, including the typical alpine flora of Mont Blanc. The garden is divided into two sections: one with artificial rock gardens where species are cultivated according to geographical origin, and another with a natural alpine pasture and reconstructions of mountain environments. The garden is a great place to learn about the unique ecosystem of the Mont Blanc area and see a variety of plant species that can hardly be found elsewhere
