Yes, typical habitat of alpestris. Little off topic but did you also find fire sals in this type of habitat ?
 
In the same period I was in the Eifel in Germany. I used to find there this time of the year alpestris and helveticus in the same kind of habitat. Even on occasion Bombina variegata. This year I found nothing, no newts at all. No larvae of Bufo, Rana. No Bombina.
I thought it was quite disturbing.
