If you're lucky, you might be able to approach a lonely young male, but when you reach a distance of about 60 feet from your subject, it will run away headlong. At the first sign of danger, a marmot sentry blows its piercing whistle and all the furry creatures disappear into their holes. To photograph marmots, you have to lie down, wait, and hide. You can also place your camera in front of a hole, go away, and watch through binoculars. When the marmot emerges from his burrow, you can take your photo by remote control.
Marmots also like searching in dustbins.
If you leave your rucksack on the ground, a marmot may come to check if you've brought him something to eat. There are a few pairs that build their nests on inaccessible rocks. It disappeared from the western Alps in 1912. However, a few years ago, an international project reintroduced Gypaetus in the neighboring Parc National de la Vanoise. It's no longer hard to see one of these magnificent birds.
