About the event

Thomasia is a botanical garden dedicated to the study and preservation of mountain plants. Located at an altitude of 1,260 meters, it is nestled against the spectacular western face of the Grand Muveran, which towers 800 meters above it. At the entrance to the Vallon de Pont de Nant, a nature reserve, Thomasia was founded by the Thomas family in 1891 and has been cultivated continuously ever since.


The botanical garden has nearly 3,000 mountain plants, classified according to their geographical origin. Flowers from the Alps rub shoulders with those from the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Caucasus, the Andes, Japan, the mountains of New Zealand, the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, and the Arctic regions.
The Alpes vivantes association is involved in practical conservation work in the Vaud Alps. By taking part in these field days, you will be able to experience the reality of working in a mountain botanical garden, broaden your knowledge of alpine plants and the importance of habitats for endangered species, and make a significant contribution to the preservation of the precious resources of the Vaud Alps.
