Shaping Mountain Culture in Western Canada

This exhibition illustrates the remarkable history of Swiss mountain guides and Swiss mountaineers in the Canadian Rocky, Columbia and Coastal Mountains and documents their pioneering methods in mountain guiding, mountain safety, skiing and helicopter-skiing. The Swiss guides and Swiss mountaineers contributed significantly to a mountain culture for which western Canada is renowned today.
