IFMGA
In 1965 in Zermatt representatives of the mountain guides associations from Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland decided to found the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations www.ifmga.info.
The purposes of the federation are:
- Adjustment of the laws of the mountain guides by promoting a uniform professional training in order to facilitate the practice of the mountain guide occupation abroad. (for example by issuing a common international document of identification)
- To give an arbitral tribunal with functions of supervision and mediation
- To study problems of general and economic nature affecting the occupation of mountain guides
- To support the partnership and the exchange of ideas amongst the mountain guides of all nations
