VORARLBERG HIKING GUIDE

“Trained guides are represented by regional representatives on the committee of the Vorarlberg Mountain Guide Association. Evidence of qualifications is required by anyone wishing to act as a guide. Vorarlberg hiking guides are identified by their official badge or licence.” (Source: www.bergfuehrer.at)

In autumn 2011, Martin Stock completed his training with the Vorarlberg Mountain Guide Association to qualify as a Vorarlberg hiking guide. The course consisted of two modules (one week in Rätikon and one week in Silbertal). The qualification entitles him to act as a guide for hiking groups throughout Europe. In December, he will be heading for Hochmontafon to supplement this training with an additional qualification as winter hiking guide.
