"100 years ago, Marie-Louise Cognacq Jaÿ created the alpine botanical garden “la Jaÿsinia”. A natural setting at the heart of heritage, the “La Jaÿsinia” garden in the Haut Savoyard village of Samoëns is an exception… Botanical garden bearing the “Remarkable Garden” label brings together more than 2,500 species of mountain flowers from five continents, extending over 3.7 hectares of land, on a steep slope (80 meters of difference in altitude) Since 1936, La Jaÿsinia has been under scientific management. of the MNHN (national museum of natural history) whose collaborators, through their research work, were able to give it the rank of Grand Alpine Garden.
No pets allowed, dogs, cats, ferrets...etc... neither on a leash nor in arms."

Beautiful botanical garden, with a chapel and a ruin at the top.
