Continuous training for professionals
Mountains and climbing are, first and foremost, a passion for each of us.

Why hire a professional?
Our members are true experts in their field!
Thanks to training received from various institutions, they have acquired teaching skills for both children and adults. This allows mountain guides, climbing instructors, and companions to teach and guide people of all ages.
Each member of the association holds the necessary permits to practice their profession in the area, as defined by the federal law on high-risk sports. By working with various professionals, you can be sure that their guiding skills are certified and available to anyone who wants to explore the mountains in all their facets.
