This book focuses on the vegetation of the Intermediate Alps, a region of contrasts; the book is aimed at a wide readership with a curiosity about the richness of nature and an appreciation for ‘green tourism’. The aim of this book is to present plants of ecological significance and to enable readers to interpret the landscapes of the Southern Alps in terms of their natural features (rocks, slope, aspect, altitude), as well as their human elements. This ‘botanical discovery’ is therefore at once a richly illustrated guide to the flora, an immersion in the region’s history, its rural culture and the daily lives of its inhabitants, and a guide to walking routes in a region of unique landscapes.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
