The Giardino Alpino Valcava
is located at the top of the Valcava valley, a wild gorge that cuts through the
Andossi above Madesimo. The upper section (1800-1900 m above sea level) widens
into a grassy bowl surrounded by spartan pastures with views of the mountains
of the upper valley.
Signposted paths have been
created for the various landscapes so that visitors can experience their best
environmental characteristics. The garden has deliberately been left as natural
as possible, although in some areas the grass is trimmed and there are four
small fields: two for medicinal plants (juniper, arnica and edelweiss) and two for
rare and endangered species of potato.
