Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota) posing for a picture
During a hike in the Valle Gesso region of Piemont, Italy.
It almost screams “cliché” seeing a marmot posing on a rock surrounded by “alpenrose” (alpine Rhododendron). And this was after we spotted a whole herd of chamois…

The Alpine Marmot is a species of marmot found in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe. Alpine marmots live at heights between 800 and 3,200 metres in the Alps, Carpathians, Tatras, the Pyrenees and Northern Apennines in Italy.
