The specialties of the individual profile
Mountain guides are versatile: they are authorized to take you to high mountains anywhere in the world for activities such as ski touring, mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, canyoning, and via ferrata. Mountain Guides can take groups of different sizes depending on the terrain.
The Climbing Instructor is a climbing specialist. They are authorized to take you climbing or train you in sport climbing, indoors or outdoors, on single or multi-pitch routes, in Switzerland and elsewhere. They are trained to teach adults and children, beginners or advanced climbers, using specific exercises that allow everyone to progress both technically and physically.
The Mountain Leader specializes in mid-mountain terrain (glacier edge). It takes you on hiking and alpine trails, trekking, with or without snowshoes. It will put you in a position to learn more about the alpine environment, the fauna and flora and the rural history of the valleys
