We can't go to the really high area with jeeps because there is still too much snow. Instead, we go by bus to an "alpine meadow" where we see marmots. The marmots are much bigger than the ones you buy for children. Marmots don't keep much distance: they are easy to photograph. We also see some smaller birds: the dipper in a river, black tits and firecrests. And again more rain.
