The subalpine forests are often thinned out like a park, with an undergrowth including the ubiquitous rusty-leaved alpenrose (Rhododendron ferrugineum), as well as the dwarf common juniper (Juniperus communis subsp.

At this altitude, Alpenrose "Rhododendron ferrugineum", and blueberry "Vaccinium myrtillus" which prefers cooler locations, can be found.

The former is often associated with Rhododendron ferrugineum, blueberries, Salix pyrenaica and other shrubby species on the subalpine slopes of the Pyrenees.

These shrubs are Rhododendron ferrugineum (on acid soils) or Rhododendron hirsutum (on non-acid soils).
