Larix decidua
The heavy forested mountains sustain many protected species of plants, such as yew ("Taxus baccata"), larch ("Larix decidua"), Swiss pine ("Pinus cembra"), edelweiss ("Leontopodium alpinum"); and animals, such as lynx ("Lynx lynx"), chamois ("Rupicapra rupicapra"), alpine marmot ("Marmota marmota"), golden eagle ("Aquila chrysaetos"), and capercaillie ("Tetrao urogallus").
