The botanical garden Alpinum Schatzalp is supported by the Berghotel Schatzalp. The Alpinum is situated at an average altitude of over 1800 metres and covers a total area of around 5 hectares. Numerous different habitats merge into one another and form a wide variety of locations for plant collections such as edelweiss, gentian, bluebells and much more.
Furthermore, the Alpinum fulfils the 3 main tasks of a botanical garden:
1. conservation and collection of species
2. teaching the population
3. local recreation
very much to heart.
To this end, a small team cultivates a variety of around 5500 species and varieties of different plants from some of the world's mountains. This is done close to nature, holistically and, above all, according to the individual plant.
A very special place has thus been created under unique conditions. Let yourself be enchanted by the abundance and the workings of nature in this breathtaking setting!
