Bine

Talkative and full of energy, Bine always ensures a good time in the mountains. His passion for outdoor sports has led him to the most inaccessible places, skiing almost vertical walls, and spending his free time searching for the best surfing and mountain biking spots. His adventurous spirit was honed in the Slovenian Alps, where you can find him during the summer. “I write Alps with a capital A”, he always tells his friends. “They’re my habitat and my strength; I love them for their pale limestone, their sharp peaks and their purity.” Bine is also a professional ski mountaineer, winning the National Slopestyle Championship seven times and guiding freeride and ski mountaineering tours in Chamonix.

Luka

Born near Lake Bled, in the heart of the Julian Alps, Luka was introduced to the alpine world as a child and would go hiking with his father who taught him about the flora and fauna in the region. With mountains being his profession and favorite pastime, you will find him up there most of the time in any season. Luka is also a passionate snowboarder, competing in freestyle and big air disciplines, as well as being the head organizer of the Freestyle National Cup of Slovenia. Luka has an exceptionally thorough knowledge of the local mountains, nature, culture, traditional food and will also give you the best tips on where to go and what to do after the tour. On the rare occasion when he is not in the mountains, he enjoys canyoning, rock climbing, and surfing.

International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA/UIAGM)

Certification, founded in 1965, is the highest mountain guide qualification in the world. In order to become a certified IFMGA mountain guide a high level of training – the highest in existence – is required in four different disciplines: rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, and ski mountaineering. Multiple years of intense alpinism exercise is required for candidates to apply for IFMGA training that takes an additional 85 days over 3-5 years. Proper guide training guarantees an international standard of mountain guides. Guides develop and are certified with a skill level that prepares them to work on any mountain range, whether they are already familiar with the mountain or not.

The Union of International Mountain Leader Associations (UIMLA)

Founded in 2004, is an international governing body that represents International Mountain Leaders across the world. One of the most important targets for UIMLA is to represent the profession at the international level, setting equal standards of qualifications for all International Mountain Leaders (IMLs). UIMLA guides undergo 53-day training over 3 years of various mountaineering skills in addition to several years of experience in the mountains. International Mountain Leaders guide clients to different mountains all over the world, leading them on high-altitude treks and secured mountain paths of varied difficulties.
