INTERESTING FACT:
The marmot is the little queen of mountain meadows. She is active from the month of May through to October, but then during the six months of winter she hibernates in her warm burrow. Out in the alpine pastures, she won’t go unnoticed because of the strident whistle she makes to warn her fellow marmots when a predator approaches (source: the Route des Montagnes guide map).
