Description
The Queen of the Alps, the five-needled Swiss stone pine (also called Arve), is perfectly suited to harsh mountain climates where it braves wind and weather its whole life long. Who doesn’t love the typical smell of a room panelled out in Swiss stone pine? The characteristic smell probably comes from essential oils within the wood. Spending a night in a room panelled out with Swiss stone pine wood lowers the heart rate and induces a deeper sleep. The trees can tolerate temperatures ranging from –40 to +40 °C. This endurance makes this species one of the native trees most adapted to harsh mountain conditions. Usually the Swiss stone pine grows together with larches, Alpine roses and blueberries.
The majority of Swiss stone pines are to be found in sub-alpine continental areas at an elevation of 1300 to 2500 m. In the Stazerforest near St. Moritz (GR) Swiss stone pines thrive everywhere on the acidic soil. Today areas with Swiss stone pines stretch from Valais to Engadine, whereby they are mainly found in the inner alpine dry valleys which are subject to extreme temperature changes. But at times they are also to be found along the edge of the Alps, for instance in the regions of Glarus and Sargans, the Bernese Oberland, Vaud and the mountains of the Ticino.
