The vibe
Spotting ibex and golden eagles in rugged alpine meadows feels like a personal wildlife safari in a country you can circle in a day. Autumn and early winter bring the animals to lower elevations, making sightings more frequent. Most visitors join small guided walks or set out quietly on their own, keeping the encounters low‑key.
