Chamois prefer to inhabit rocky areas and more difficult-to-access open spaces above the timberline up to about 3,000 m altitude. The diurnal species is ideally adapted to life in the high mountains, changing from short summer hair to dense winter hair and possessing horny shells that provide support when climbing.

The ibex belongs to the goat species and prefers steep, exposed, sunny locations as its habitat. The agile game species is characterised by its strong, stocky body and stocky legs. Both sexes carry horns, but live in separate herds and only meet during the rutting season in high winter.

The diurnal roe deer prefers forest edge zones and sparsely wooded areas and is considered the smallest deer species. Roe deer are characterised by their slender build, long legs and relatively small hooves. Only male roe bucks wear antlers, which they shed between October and December.

With a body weight of 150 kilograms and a shoulder height of 1.50 metres, red deer are among the largest deer species. The species, which is both diurnal and nocturnal, wears a reddish-brown coat in the summer months and a brown-grey coat in the winter months and organises itself in herds.

In the Galtür hunting area you can also hunt capercaillie and black grouse, both of which belong to the grouse family with their feathered feet, as well as marmots. The latter are one of the largest rodents and are extremely agile despite their stocky bodies. Although they are diurnal, they spend 90% of their lives underground.
