The Vercors Chamois is a mountain game that lives in the Vercors Massif, in the south-east of France. 

 

An iconic inhabitant of the Vercors mountains, the Vercors Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra vercorsica) is a master of high altitudes and rugged terrain. Adapted to steep slopes and rocky environments, this agile caprid moves between forests and alpine meadows, often above 1,000 meters in elevation.

Generally smaller than the Alpine Chamois, its coat is also greyer or is mottled with grey on dark coat.

The horns of the Vercors Chamois are thicker than the Alpine Chamois’.

 

Stalking is the only method of hunting Chamois.
