Sort-of 'half on-show' close to the wapiti/bighorn paddock. Not sure if these can be viewed from the top (near the tower, maybe?).

Yes, they can also be viewed from the top, although also half on show/ half off.....
 
Thanks! We were vaguely aware they were in the zoo but not properly on show so were peering into corners just in case and eventually we did indeed find them! :D
 
Are these the only ones in Europe? As a high altitude species in North America I wonder if they are difficult to keep at lower elevation/warmer or wetter climates?
 
There are Dall's Sheep elsewhere - we also saw them at Pilsen and (last year) at Leipzig. But they're scarce.

Zootierliste lists 6 zoos in Europe (ZootierlisteHomepage).
