The Bruno Peyronel Alpine Botanical Garden is open year-round, being a natural and publicly accessible site. During July and August, a volunteer guide will be available to welcome you and, if you wish, accompany you free of charge along the educational trail within the Garden, to help you discover the wonders of Alpine flora.

Quiet, panoramic place, with excursions for all needs, easy or more challenging. Today we still found a lot of snow towards the Ivert hamlet. Ideal to do in summer.

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 park, at 1,168 meters above sea level, is an equipped area ideal for a panoramic break or to continue exploring the surrounding natural area.

The “tumpi” are deep pools formed along watercourses. In the municipality of Bobbio Pellice, the Guichard torrent has formed several with its fresh water where it is possible to cool off during the summer months when the temperatures in the city become truly unbearable. From June to September these pools of fresh water are in fact the perfect destination for families and young people looking for a bit of relief from the heat. Furthermore, the tumpi of Bobbio Pellice are also ideal for those who love to dive since the rocks that surround them act as perfect natural springboards.

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.
