Saussurea Botanic Garden

The Saussurea Alpine Botanical Garden is located at an altitude of 2175 meters and is among the highest gardens in Europe.

Its name comes from the Saussurea alpina flower, named in honor of the Geneva scientist Horace Benedict de Saussure, who also promoted the first ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786.

The garden covers an area of 6500 square meters and hosts a rich collection of Alpine plants from the Aosta Valley, Italy, and mountain ranges from around the world.

The more than 900 species are housed in rock gardens, divided according to their geographical origin, and in natural high-altitude environments.

All ticket holders with a valid pass for the ascent will be able to visit the garden for free.

The Garden will be open until September 22.
