Overview

The purpose of this page is to group typical Alpine - from the Alps and from other mountains - wild flowers pictures.

Pian del Re flower site

Pian del Re is in Italy, in high Piemonte. This is the place where is springing Po one of the main European River.

During early summer, it's possible to see a lot of Alpin flowers here. If you come back from Monviso or mountains arround, just take time to have a look to flowers.
During hot days, you have mostly fog and humidity on the east side of the Alps, due to west winds predominance. These are good conditions for flowers.

This place is accessible by car during summer. A small road is going there, but it's not anymore free... The Pian del Re parking is the most commonly used when going to Monviso.
