When creating a burrow, they use both their forepaws and hind feet to assist in the work—the forepaws scrape away the soil, which is then pushed out of the way by the hind feet. If there are any stones in the way, the alpine marmot will remove them with its teeth provided that the stones aren't too large. "Living areas" are created at the end of a burrow, and are often lined with dried hay, grass and plant stems.
Alpine marmots survive extreme changes in weather and food shortages during winter by hibernating.As the summer begins to end, alpine marmots will gather old stems in their burrows in order to serve as bedding for their impending hibernation, which can start as early as October. They seal the burrow with a combination of earth and their own faeces. Once winter arrives, alpine marmots will huddle next to each other and begin hibernation, a process which lowers their heart rate to five beats per minute and breathing to 1–3 breaths per minute.

From Brand we climbed to the Untere Zalimalpe, at 1366m. There is a farm over there and lots of cows that can graze on the meadows during summer.
The Zalimtal is an idyllic valley in the Austrian Alps. The walking trail leads up to a mountain hut, the Oberzalimhütte, but we wouldn't get that far because of the snow on the track! [Explored on 4 Dec 2024, #94]

Above treeline in the Rockies the growing season starts late, particularly where the snow piles up during the winter. Just below Missouri Pass (12,000’/ 3600 m) where the snow can be deep at the end of winter, the peak flowering season occurs in mid-August, a few weeks later than lower and higher elevations. This beautiful meadow has some wonderful floral diversity, including 2 species of paintbrush (red is split-leaf paintbrush, Castilleja rhexifolia; yellow is western yellow paintbrush, C. occidentalis), little elephant head (purple flowers on left, Pedicularis groenlandica), fleabane daisies (purple flowers toward the middle, Erigeron sp), American bistort (Bistorta bistortoides), and at least a couple of species of yellow daisies (aka DYCs).

A photo from last year which I resurrected to accompany a paper I have coming out this year on long-lasting effects of air pollution in this environment. The photo mostly shows off the vegetation of the alpine, a mix of sedges and forbs, at its peak green here. Fall colors have already advanced by this posting time (mid August)- the growing season is very short at 12,000' / 3700 m. Summer monsoon clouds have built up with the threat of a late afternoon thunderstorm. The peaks are (r - l) Mount Audubon, Paiute Peak, and Pawnee Peak, as viewed from Niwot Ridge.

It's necessary for us and our backpacks, as the African heat that is currently engulfing the old continent is unbearable.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Un pò di riposo é necessario, per noi e per i nostri zaini, dato che l'ondata di caldo africano che sta attualmente investendo il Vecchio Continente è insopportabile.
Buon fine settimana a tutti ! Buon Ferragosto.
