To fully discover the La Jaÿsinia Alpine Botanical Garden, groups can book a guided tour. More than just a simple stroll, this formula allows you to explore the garden in a different way, benefiting from the insight and knowledge of those who bring it to life on a daily basis.
The tour is led by one of the site's gardeners, who shares his or her experience in the field and reveals the special features of this unique alpine garden. Through a general presentation of the park and its organization, visitors discover the different geographical zones and the way in which mountain plants from all over the world have been acclimatized on this exceptional site overlooking the heart of the village.
Along the paths, the visit also becomes a moment of exchange and discovery: flowerings, adaptations to the mountain climate, botanical curiosities or the garden's emblematic species. This lively approach allows visitors to take a fresh look at the collections and better understand the wealth of plant life that makes up this listed site.
Accessible to all publics, this guided tour is designed for the curious as well as nature enthusiasts. It offers groups the opportunity to take time to observe, ask questions and deepen their discovery of the garden in a friendly, educational atmosphere.

This botanical garden classified as a remarkable garden was created in 1906 by Marie-Louise Cognacq-Jaÿ, founder of La Samaritaine.

Summer is Samoëns means a holiday in a small town full of old chalets and flower-decked balcones or in the renovated wooden farmhouses in the nearby hamlets. It means a whole range of leisure activities.

This exhibition at the Maison de la Jaÿsinia, at the foot of the Alpine Botanical Garden, traces the fascinating life of Samoëns-born Marie-Louise Cognacq-Jaÿ.
