It's important to remember that marmots are wild animals and can be frightened off if you move too quickly or don't keep a safe distance from them.
Watching them ideally requires patience and discretion. So make sure you respect their habitat and don't disturb them.
It is advisable to use binoculars to observe them from a distance, so as not to disturb their natural behaviour.
