ArosaAkademie «Geschützte Alpenpflanzen - Wanderung»

In Switzerland, numerous alpine plants are protected. But what makes these plants so special that they require legal protection? Is it due to their rarity or their sensitive habitat? Is the Edelweiss, one of the most famous symbols of the Alps, on the national list of protected plants, or is it "only" protected in your canton?Together, we embark on an exciting journey through time to learn more about the history of species protection in Switzerland. And perhaps we might even find an Edelweiss in the wild.
