Due to its widespread distribution, P. alpina enjoys a relatively secure future.
In some regions in Europe, however, it is uncommon enough to be threatened by development or agriculture.
The species, for example, used to be found in northern Scotland, but has since been eradicated there and is no longer found growing natively on the British Isles.
The species is protected in Germany by the "Bundesartenschutzverordnung", and is also protected locally in some Swiss cantons and the Pannonian and Alpine foothill regions of Austria.
