Savoy Castle Alpine Botanical Garden, Alpine garden at Castel Savoia, Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Italy.
Located at 1350 meters elevation, the garden spans 1000 square meters with rocky beds displaying mountain plants against the castle's stone walls.
The garden, established in 1990, complements Castel Savoia, which Queen Margherita of Italy constructed as her summer residence in 1898.
The garden reflects late 19th-century European landscaping principles through its arrangement of ornamental plants and careful horticultural practices.
Visitors can explore the garden from May to September during castle hours, with peak flowering season occurring between June and September.
The garden specializes in ornamental alpine species rather than native plants, featuring collections of Gentian, Eryngium, Iris, and Lilium varieties.
