You will find your guide very familiar with the local terrain, culture, food and customs, and passionate about sharing it with you -- you’re in their back yard after all! They are conversational in at least one, if not more, of the principal languages in the region -- Italian, German, and Ladin -- in addition to English.

All of our guides have outdoor leadership certifications, and continue to hone their skills on an ongoing basis through advanced guiding and leadership courses. They are either UIAGM/IFMGA professional mountain guides – the highest mountaineering qualification in the world (see below), trekking or biking guides, or photography instructors who are also professional photographers in their own right.

Most importantly, they are fun to be with and dedicated to making sure you have an outstanding experience and enjoy your trip in the Dolomites!

 

UIAGM/IFMGA Professional Mountain Guides

UIAGM (Unione Internationale des Associations de Guides de Montagnes)
IFMGA (International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations)

UIAGM/IFMGA certification is the highest mountain guide qualification in the world.  In order to become a certified IFMGA mountain guide a high level of training -- the highest in existence -- is required in four different disciplines: rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, and ski mountaineering.

Ensuring client safety is a primary objective of the association. Proper guide training guarantees an international standard of mountain guides. Guides develop and are certified with a skill level that prepares them to work on any mountain range, whether they already know the mountain or not.

The IFMGA is a world wide association -- founded in 1965 by guides from Austria, France, Switzerland, and Italy -- and currently includes mountain guide associations from more than 20 countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Oceania, representing a total of almost 6,000 guides.
