Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Fritillary sighting in Hohe Tauern National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 61st most-seen of the 165 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Fritillary in Hohe Tauern National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and September–October, the lowest months. December has too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Fritillary is recorded against all the insects logged in Hohe Tauern National Park (14 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
