Courmayeur Alpine Guides Festival

By: LoveVDA

Courmayeur Alpine Guides Festival

Traditional day dedicated to the Mountain Guides of Courmayeur , a kind of celebration of the mountain and of those who live there, work there or go there for pleasure.
The guides, in historical uniform with wide-brimmed hat, beige suit, rope rolled over the shoulder, ice ax and crampons, march in parade accompanied by the women of Courmayeur in traditional costume and by the Courmayeur-La Salle marching band.
They initially go to the cemetery and after the Holy Mass and the blessing of the ropes and ice axes they parade in the central street to the Jardin de l’Ange for the official ceremony.

August 15 with the mountain guides: tradition, solemnity and elegance.

First company established in Italy and second in the world, the Society of Mountain Guides of Courmayeur was born in 1850 at the behest of the pioneers of such a noble profession who met with the aim of realizing, through a permanent and prestigious institution, an activity which had by then become the cornerstone of mountain tourism.
