Flowers of the Alps

This one-day course will give you confidence to identify alpine flowers. It will demystify the jargon behind flower identification books and help you become more informed. The course will also look at the broader environment to develop your understanding of alpine geology, tectonic activity and land use.

This course is suitable for anyone with a desire to learn about the amazing alpine plants. It is also suitable for leaders and aspirant leaders developing their knowledge of the alpine environment as they progress through the BAIML qualification known as the International Mountain Leader.

The field site has been selected due to the wonderful limestone floral diversity. It is an easily accessible site with good altitudinal and habitat diversity. The pace of the course is intentionally leisurely as clients regularly take photos and spend time making notes along the way.
