MEDAL TROPHY PYRENEAN CHAMOIS

The Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica), locally known as *sarrio*, is the largest of the chamois subspecies found in Spain and represents a true challenge even for the most experienced mountain hunters. Perfectly adapted to the vertiginous heights and rugged terrain of the Aragonese, Catalan, and French Pyrenees, its hunting is a true test of endurance and skill, where nature sets the rules and the hunter must respect them. The beauty of the high mountains blends with the thrill of the hunt in an adventure that challenges both physical ability and personal determination, offering a pure and traditional hunting experience in one of the most spectacular environments in Europe. Chamois stalking (*rececho*) is a hunting method that involves locating and silently approaching these animals in their natural habitat, typically across steep and rugged mountainous terrain. This technique requires a high level of stalking skill, a deep understanding of the terrain and the habits of the chamois, as well as strong physical fitness, since it often involves covering long distances on foot and at high altitudes. The goal is to get close enough to make a precise and ethical shot.
