The Alpine Guide, the sole legally authorised professional to lead travellers on the mountains, will hardly appear among the first ten answers to the question “What will you do when you’ll grow up?”.

In this 12 one hour episode docu-reality series we will meet the aspiring Alpine Guides and we will follow the harsh selection and hard training they will undergo from practical trials through to final exams, that will eventually allow them to become professional mountaineers.

The course will articulate between theory and practical trials. Those who will overcome the rock and ice climbing and the alpine skying selection will access a training lasting 100 long days full of anxiety, hope and frustration, strain and sacrifice, victory and defeat.
