AGL company directors and senior guides have been instrumental in developing NZMGA standards in a continuous evolution. Alpine Guides is (and always has been) a proponent of the terrain and professional guidelines promoted by the NZMGA. We meet or exceed the guidelines relating to the training and mentoring of guides.
