Some of the main functions of the Association are:
- Representation of the members’ interests. Members are South Tyrolean mountain guides with a current licence.
- Maintenance of the register. In 2010, 183 mountain guides are inscribed.
- Coordination and organisation of the vocational and continuation training.
- Cooperation with other national and international (IFMGA) mountain guides associations.
