Set in front of a backdrop of tree-lined ridges and rolling, grass-covered hills and only a short walk from the crossroads of Viote, the alpine botanical garden, with its impressive variety of alpine plants, flowers and even 'painted' mushrooms from all over the world, offers a pleasant morning or afternoon in crisp, clean mountain air. Though perhaps best viewed in summer when most plants are in full bloom, early fall also deserves a visit as colors change and the plants begin to fade with the approaching winter. Gravel paths wind around past the meticulously
labeled folliage, displayed in a natural setting-some among rocks, others among trees or aside a mountain pond.
