Hiring a guide in Switzerland — common questions

What qualification should a mountain guide in Switzerland hold?

For hiking and trekking terrain, look for an International Mountain Leader (IML/UIMLA) qualification. For glaciated ground, via ferrata and technical climbing, the guide should hold the IFMGA/UIAGM carnet. Every guide profile on Made to Hike states which qualification they hold.

How do I check a guide is really certified in Switzerland?

Made to Hike checks each guide's certificate before their profile is published and shows a verified marker on the profile. You can also ask the guide for their carnet or association number and check it with the national association.

Can I contact a guide in Switzerland before booking?

Yes. Every guide profile has a direct message option, so you can discuss the route, your experience level and dates before committing.
