The Alpine Botanical Garden "Bruno Peyronel", on Colle Barant (2,290 m), in the upper Pellice Valley, is a nature reserve created in 1991. It hosts over 300 native Alpine species on a surface of 17,000 m², distributed between pastures, scree and wetlands. It is one of the highest botanical gardens in Europe, which can be visited in the months of July and August with or without a botanical guide.

The Alpine botanical garden “Bruno Peyronel” was born in 1991 from a collaboration between the University of Turin, the Piedmont Region, the Province of Turin, the Val Pellice Mountain Community and the Municipality of Bobbio Pellice. It is named after Bruno Peyronel, a botany professor at the University of Turin who was the first to notice the botanical richness of this area.
It is located at 2,290 meters above sea level and is the highest spontaneous Alpine botanical garden in Europe. In summer it is possible to visit it accompanied by volunteer guides.

Very nice and quiet place, managed by a boy. Recommended the passage and the entrance, magnificent lake and view of the Prà. Immediately below the Rifugio Barant.
