The New Zealand Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA) provides training programmes and certification for professional Mountain and Ski Guides in New Zealand.[1]

History

The NZMGA was established in 1974 and joined the IFMGA in 1981. The first professional guide in New Zealand was Ulrich Kaufmann, a Swiss guide, who attempted the first ascent of Aoraki / Mount Cook in 1882.
