At 1500 meters above the sea on Monte Bondone on the Viotte Plateau overlooking the city of Trento is a rare Alpine Botanic Garden of the Viotte with more than 1,000 species of plants from the mountainous regions of the world.

Spread across ten acres, the garden was originally established in 1938, severely damaged in World War II, and meticulously renewed in 1958. Plants are grouped by areas of origin such as Alps, the Himalayas, or the Caucasus Mountains, among others. Naturally Alpine plants take precedence, especially since the lush meadows of Viotte are naturally covered with wild Alpine flowers and herbs, have excellent southern exposure, and plenty of water from the nearby bog. Many plants are endemic to the region.
