An Amazing Fact: As far back as the 15th century, the Venetian Republic hired and paid local mountaineers to accompany mapmakers
through the Dolimites mountain range in an effort to trace the Austrian-Venetian border. Later, in 1865, Austria officially authorized the discipline of Alpine Guide. These first explorers were often accompanied by local mountaingoat hunters, traditionally the true experts of the steep and dangerous mountain routes, and together can be considered the forefathers of the modern mountain guide.
________________________________
Mountain guides are trained and experienced mountaineers. They are professionals with a passion for the mountains. These experts have
skills in climbing, hiking, and skiing. They have practical knowledge about rocks, avalanches, weather, navigation, snow, and health. Their
main goal is your safety when climbing.
Certification for most guides is through the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations. It requires a vigorous examination of three main areas: rock climbing, alpine climbing, and mountaineering skiing. It can take up to seven years to complete certification
requirements. Other qualities that mountain guides can provide clients include a good knowledge of the route, weather, and snow and glacier conditions. They are prepared for emergencies and have equipment and
knowledge to care for you and evacuate you from danger. Some have access to limited-use locations for hikers who want to explore new
places.
On our journey to heaven, we will meet great difficulties. We are assured of trials and have been warned of an enemy who wants to pull
us off course, attack us, or simply confuse our sense of direction.
But we can be thankful for a promise made by Jesus to His disciples before returning to heaven. “However, when He, the Spirit of truth,
has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come” (John 16:13). We can have peace knowing that God has sent each of us a personal guide in Jesus.
KEY BIBLE TEXTS
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me. - Psalms 23:4
