Reserving a Guide

Terms and Conditions

Our guiding rates vary depending on the activity, group size, and itinerary. Prices may range from CHF 70 per person for a large group mountain biking tour to CHF 820 per day for a group of four on a more technical outing.

We ask that you please review the Swiss Mountain Guides General Terms and Conditions when reserving a guide.

This document outlines your rights and responsibilities, and explains how our bookings, cancellations, and liability policies work.

Cancellation

When you reserve a guide, you are booking their time exclusively for your group. This means that the guide will not accept any other bookings for that day.

On the bottom of page 5, Art.12: cancelation, states that:

Payment Options

To reserve a guide, full payment of the guiding fee is required. You can pay by bank transfer, credit card, or via Wise (formerly TransferWise).

Please make sure to select the option to cover all bank fees when initiating the transfer.

Recommended Payment Option

The most cost-effective method is Wise (www.wise.com), a UK-based platform known for low fees and favorable exchange rates. It typically takes 4–5 minutes to link your bank account the first time, but it’s well worth it if you make payments in different currencies.

Insurance Recommendations

Helicopter Rescue Insurance:

We strongly recommend taking annual coverage with Air Glaciers. If you’re injured in the mountains and not already insured, they will fly you to the nearest hospital.

  • CHF 35 for an individual

  • CHF 80 for a family

Trip Cancellation Insurance:

If you wish to protect your trip against unexpected cancellations, Elvia (part of Allianz Travel) offers policies that cost approximately 5% of your total trip cost.
