Thanks, Isabela. Carduus defloratus does seem the most likely. I can just barely make out the leaves well enough to compare.
Sorry I meant Carduus defloratus!
These beautiful photos could be of Circium deflorata but it's difficult to identify without seeing the leaves. Have a look at this Alpine flowers web: http://alpineflowers.gabathuler.org/inde...
