THE MOUNTAIN GUIDES OF ALPINE SCHOOL ARCO TRENTINO DOLOMITES ITALY
The history of the mountain guides in Trentino began with the birth of alpinism in the Dolomites. Its protagonists are
explorers from England, Germany, Austria and local mountain guides. The mountain guide' s profession has been subject
to changes and development. Until the end of the 18th century they were the mountain guides of rich aristocrats
keen on granting their name to a famous peak or wall. The modern mountain guide however, is a professional with not
only a profound knowledge of the manifold traditional and modern alpine techniques but is also an expert in nature,
culture and history. In those days and at present, the mountain guides are the authors of national and international
alpine history. The Trentino Alpine Guide Association is preparing the guides for their professional life. In
Trentino 220 mountain guides are registered; they are being distributed among 12 alpine schools and/or other types of
guide' s associations. Practically in each valley of Trentino you can find an association of mountain guides which
can provide information and advice. The alpine schools or guide' s associations are offering a vast range of
activities and courses which can be booked directly. With a mountain guide on your side, a day in the mountains, a
simple excursion through the forests of our National Parks or a climbing tour in the Dolomites, will become an
unforgettable experience. The alpine guides of Arco Trentino are publishing an annual program offering daily or
weekly excursions/events which are suitable for everyone who has already been in the mountains but is mainly
addressing those who want to make first contact with them. The program includes excursions, trekking tours, climbing
trips, high alpine treks, via ferrata courses or excursions in the National Parks with special park Mountain Guides.

JIRI
He graduated in geology in his country of birth, the Czech Republic. In his youth he participated in alpine skiing and climbing competitions
reaching the highest levels of difficulty (8a-8b). Following his philosophy of life that is summarized by the motto:
"Why is everyone traveling and I'm always at home?" He started traveling the world. Jiri has exaggerated a little bit and has
visited more than 40 countries and many different continents. Always looking for new adventures, unexplored trekking routes, mountains
to climb, unknown cultures and new human contacts. Finally he stopped at the shores of Lake Garda Trentino. In his
profession as a mountain guide he started with the activity of canyoning, counting hundreds of excursions. He is currently
our coordinator for teambuilding incentives in both climbing and canyoning for English-speaking clients.
MATTEO
He was born in Povo, a small village on the outskirts of Trento the birthplace of many other famous climbers and alpinists. Nobody
can explain why and not even Matteo remembers when he actually started climbing the mountains near his home as a child, following the
family tradition. Hundreds of climbs in the Alps have trained him in character and also physically, allowing him to get to know
himself and his climbing partners. At first he obtained the diploma of alpine guide and later he also became a skiing instructor.
He works assiduously at the climbing structure in Arco teaching climbing techniques. Organizes outdoor incentives and
teambuilding for schools and businesses but does not mind engaging as an alpine guide accompanying friends and customers in
mountain climbing. In the wintertime the slopes of Trentino see him engaged as a ski and ski mountaineering instructor.
FABRIZIO
He was born in a small village in the Alps. Being surrounded by mountains made him want to climb and
the get the satisfaction of reaching the highest peaks. Fabrizio has translated his passion into a profession from which he obtains
much satisfaction and the search for a human relationship with his friend-client. He actively collaborates on the structure
of the Trentino climbing center in the organization of teambuilding and outdoor incentives. He is an expert in the Brenta
Dolomites which often see him engaged both in climbing and on the famous vie ferrate of the Bocchette. Fabrizio is a
perfectionist and he loves to refine his remarkable physical skills and the professionalism of his work as a mountain guide.
In fact as soon as he has some free time he is eager to visit his old neighbor: the Marmolada Punta Penia (3.343 m).
SIMONE
Simone has just reached his top goal: the instructor diploma of the Italian mountain guides.
Perhaps only mountain guides know the professional, technical, didactic qualities and the human qualities that underlie
the achievement of such a title. Of course this does not come from nothing: Simone has practiced all the activities on a
daily basis in the mountains. He started very young with rock climbing and then he also worked hard on ice climbing, ski
mountaineering and canyoning. Today Simone is engaged in all the activities offered by the School especially in favor of
the German clientele, given his good knowledge of the language.
STEFANO
He began his climbing career at the tender age of 14 years. Later on life was for him a continuous discovery of new routes
on rock, first in the Valle del Sarca then in the Dolomites. Finally he experimented with trekking in Patagonia and on the
ice walls of Norway. He passed the strict courses and exams to become a Mountain Guide practically when he was still a boy.
Now he works in the management of the Rock Master wall in Arco where he starting to realize the dreams and the adventures of his
customers and friends to whom he loves to transmit all his natural joy and passion for the mountains. In winter, he escapes to the
neighboring Austria and collaborates on snow-covered slopes and off-slopes with a local school as a snowboard instructor.
ALESSANDRO
He graduated in his native town Trento and at the same time he participated in alpine skiing competitions for 5 years.
He has accumulated about 300 ascents practically on all the peaks of the Alps. In the year 2016, at the age of 30, he
obtained the instructor diploma of the Italian Alpine Guides. Ale is really a multifaceted character and also this
philosophical thought expresses it: "The biggest problem is to give priority to the myriad possibilities that stimulate
the mind of a climber, when you have the good fortune to live in the most beautiful place of world!" What is most important
to him is mountain cinematography. He has already created an ambitious project called "DoloMitiche - open-air works of art"
which was presented at the Filmfestival della Montagna and other feature films. He will surely become a good movie director,
in the meantime he will hopefully give us a hand in our school.
DELIO
As a child he began to discover the paths, via ferrata and rock walls in the area of Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites.
His first professional engagement, in 1959, was "Shepherd of goats". Subsequently, his qualification has somewhat improved
and in 1995 he founded the first Alpinism and ski mountaineering school in Arco. Since the beginning, he has always been in
charge of the internet until, in 2005, he was nominated "Professional Web Master" by Google although being a simple self-taught.
This has brought good benefits in his activity as a mountain guide, especially in the German market. If you tell Delio that
his websites are ugly, he is happy because you have found them and you have also read them. In fact, in the year 2015, he also received
the award as Professional SEO by Google. Nowadays Delio works in his business almost exclusively for his old
German guests. He loves to collaborate with the young people of the Mountime mountaineering school of Arco who, with
professionalism and reliability, carry on the centuries-old tradition of the Trentino Alpine Guides.
