Where to hunt Alpine Chamois

The Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra rupicapra) is a highly prized mountain game species of Europe. As typical for mountain animals, chamois populations on isolated mountain ranges develop specific features, and are classified as different subspecies. So, the Balkan chamois exists in the Balkans, Pyrrenean chamois in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, and so on. Alpine chamois, as the name suggests, is native to the Alps, the mountain range in the heart of Europe. An introduced population also thrives in New Zealand. Top destinations for Alpine chamois hunting include Austria and France. When looking for an Alpine chamois hunt, bear in mind that this is, so to speak, the default subspecies of chamois. Many outfitters in the Alpine chamois range list their hunts as simply “chamois”, so if you haven’t found what you’re looking for on this page, try broadening your search to the generic chamois page and use map view to look for the hunts in the Alpine chamois range. This can be tricky - for instance, in France you can find both Alpine chamois hunts in Auvergne-Rhône-Alps and Pyrenean chamois in Occitanie, so make sure you book the precise subspecies you’re looking for - but who said mountain hunting is easy?

Распределение цен

Alpine chamois hunts vary in price depending on the country, terrain, and outfitter services. Normally, they fall within €3,500 to €7,000 range, depending on number of days, accommodation and meals, location, and trophy size. This said, chamois hunting is perhaps the most affordable of the true mountain hunts, and often comes with flat trophy fees. The most expensive offers are combination hunts, which allow hunters to pursue other game species such as red deer, mouflon, or ibex, and in New Zealand also tahr.

Способы охоты

Alpine chamois hunting is an extreme test of endurance and marksmanship, demanding careful planning and physical preparation. The most common method is spot-and-stalk, where hunters glass distant slopes and ridgelines to locate a suitable trophy before making a careful approach. Chamois are incredibly wary and have exceptional eyesight, requiring hunters to use the terrain to their advantage, staying hidden while closing the distance. The hunt often requires long hikes through steep, rocky terrain, with final shots frequently taken at longer distances due to the open, exposed landscapes. A flat-shooting rifle is recommended for precise, ethical shots in high-altitude conditions. European hunters prefer their weapons light and the calibers small - chamois is not a very big animal, and 5.6-mm (.223) centerfire cartridges are adequate, although most hunters prefer something in the 6.5-mm (.265) range for better wind resistance.
