My only disappointment in Austria was the lack of visible wild animals. Most of what we saw were domestic: horses, cows, sheep, and goats. There are a number of pretty amazing animals that live up in the alps but maybe we weren't spending enough time in one place to actually see them. On the other hand the marmots made the final (exhausting and painful and straight up!!) climb on our Pasterze Glacier Trail a bit more fun. We heard a scream I thought would be a big eagle or vulture and looked up to find two marmots tussling on the side of the mountain.
