It is part of the List of Remarkable Gardens of France certified by the Ministry of Culture.Today the garden contains more than 2,300 species of alpine plants from around the world and a herbarium of 15 000 plants collected over the last 150 years. The garden continues to be managed by the Université Grenoble Alpes as it has since its creation. Plants are presented in rockeries corresponding to four major themes: geographical origin, habitat, properties, and taxonomy.

The garden was created in 1899 by combined effort of the Touring Club de France, Professor Jean-Paul Lachmann of the Université scientifique de Grenoble, and M. Bonnabel, local hotelier.
