New Zealand Chamois Hunts

Where adventure meets altitude

Originally native to the European Alps, chamois were introduced to New Zealand in 1907 as a gift from Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Since then, they’ve established themselves in the steep alpine terrain of the South Island’s Southern Alps.

Chamois thrive in rugged, high-altitude environments - think steep basins, shale slopes, and open ridgelines above the bushline. Known for their agility and keen eyesight, chamois are notoriously alert and elusive, making for a challenging and rewarding hunt.

Males and females sport distinctive black facial stripes, with sleek, short coats that grow into rich chocolate tones during winter. Both sexes carry hook-shaped horns, with bucks developing thicker bases and deeper curves. Chamois can be hunted year-round, though their winter coats are prime from May to August.
