Our calling.

As internationally certified mountain guides (IFMGA/UIAGM/IVBV), we belong to a profession that has undergone one of the world's most comprehensive educations in mountaineering.
Becoming a guide requires many years of experience in climbing, glaciers, skiing, and alpine tours. The education itself extends over several years and contains both practical and theoretical modules in:

• Alpine climbing and ice climbing – techniques, belaying, route selection, and rescue.

• Glacier hiking and icefall – rope travel, safety on ice, and knowledge of crevasses.

• ski touring and skiing – safe travel in avalanche terrain, assessment of snow and weather conditions.

• Risk management – decision-making under pressure, assessment of group dynamics and safety.

• First aid and rescue – medical preparedness, buddy rescue, and emergency situations.

An IFMGA guide is therefore not just a "tour leader" but a highly educated professional with in-depth expertise in taking responsibility for the safety of others in demanding mountain environments.
