The Gralet mountain pasture is marked by a rugged and rocky topography, made up of small inclines and forest areas. Here, the dry grasslands grow on thin soils. Sedum grows on the bare rocky inclines and attracts the Apollo caterpillar. During the height of summer, this large white butterfly with red eyespots is easy to spot amongst the multitude of smaller orange species such as the heath fritillary or darker species like the woodland ringlet.
