Who'd think the Alpine flora could have so many virtues? Take your time
exploring these few miles of natural wonders, step by step. Become an
apprentice botanist and feast your eyes on all these intriguing flowers
near the village.

Description

Strike out at a leisurely pace, to the peaceful hum of foraging bees. All these
pollen-filled pistils are miniature paradises for them. In June and July, an
opulent feast of colours and sweet fragrances is laid out for you. Already,

village, follow the many little signs laid out for you in summer.
