Description:
Up to 50 cm tall, glabrous plant with several times pinnately divided leaves that have thin, linear leaf segments. Umbels mostly lack an involucrum, but umbellules have it, with their bracts approximately as long as the flower pedicels. Flowers are small, pinkish-white or red. Blooms from June to September. Grows on alpine pastures and meadows, among green alders and dwarf shrubs, and in mountain forests, most often above 1500 meters.
It is widespread in the Alps and other Central and Southern European mountains.
It is distinguished from the red-flowering subspecies of great masterwort mainly by the leaves, which in masterwort are once pinnately divided, with leaf segments broadly ovate; masterwort is usually also taller, over 50 cm.

The picture definitely does not show alpine lovage. Perhaps it is shining lovage (Ligusticum seguieri). The alpine one is much smaller and looks completely different.
