This chamois lives in Romania's Carpathian Mountains. It grazes in alpine areas in summer, rests in shade during the hottest part of warm days, and uses lower grassland and forest edges in winter.
The 2011 account gives a head-and-body length of 115–125 cm from the few available measurements, and male horn lengths of 23–30 cm. It describes a darker winter coat than in other chamois.
The 2011 account describes grazing in the early morning and late afternoon in the warm season, with shade used during the hottest hours. Habitat is alpine in summer and lower grassland–forest edges in winter. Graminoids form a larger share of spring feeding, while winter food is browse.
