Perched on the Schynige Platte plateau above Wilderswil, the Alpine Garden is a living museum of alpine flora. Spread across a natural mountain setting, it showcases over 600 species of plants native to the Swiss Alps, arranged in rock gardens and meadows that mimic their natural habitats. Visitors can stroll along well-marked trails, reading informative signs about each plant, while enjoying sweeping views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The garden is at its most vibrant from late June to August when wildflowers are in full bloom. It's a peaceful, educational experience that combines botany with breathtaking alpine scenery.
