Arboretum Marcel Kroenlein — trees on a sunny Alpine slope
On the woodland paths above Roure, the collection is shaped by the slope. Compare what grows in the sunny openings with the trees that shade the path.
D’après la source
The Arboretum Marcel Kroenlein occupies a sunny mountain slope above Roure in the Tinée valley. Planting began in 1988. Its living collections and paths make the transitions between lower slopes and mountain woodland visible.
Lecture éditoriale
The arboretum’s team places the site between 1,200 and 1,722 metres and explains how the sunny exposure and influence of the Mediterranean affect what can grow there. The scientific signs offer a way into the collection through particular trees, rather than a single walk past every specimen.
Recommandation
Check the arboretum’s current access information before travelling above Roure. Wear shoes for sloping woodland paths and ask which routes suit your time and the weather.
