The mountain guide’s obligation to clients is not only to guide them safely through the mountains. Before the tour starts, they give personal advice to the client and supports them in selecting the right tour. Mountain guides have a basic education in geology, fauna and flora and know the mountains and their history. 

Consequently, a mountain tour becomes a life experience for the client. The guide does not only lead the way, but is also a coach providing advice and motivation. They help ambitious clients to improve technically and physically. Often the mountain guide accompanies their client for many years all over the world. This is the basis for friendships that last for a lifetime. 

Safety is an important issue in mountaineering. Humans are looking for recreation and adventure in the mountains. In mountaineering as in life there is a certain residual risk that cannot be eliminated. Mountain guides are professionally trained to reduce this residual risk. Their high-quality education is focused on safety and their ample experience helps the mountain guide make the right decisions in difficult situations.
