Swedish Mountain Leader Organisation

The Swedish Mountain Leader Organisation SFLO is a member organisation for mountain leaders and trainers. One of our primary goals is that our members should be chosen primarily by non-profit and commercial parties for activities in the mountains. The Swedish Mountain Leader Organisation is the result of an initiative that has emerged with broad support from virtually all major players in the Swedish mountains. Our official mission is to ensure the quality of the educators according to the mountain standards and to coordinate and visualize educated mountain leaders. The assignment also includes the development of the Swedish Mountain Leader Standard. 

Our main tasks are:

• Ensure that educators maintain a high current level of competence on their programs.
• Offer already approved mountain leaders annual current training seminars and festivals. 
• Take care of the Swedish Mountain Leader Standard and our work area through collaboration with other organizations and authorities. 
• Visualize approved mountain guides and trainers with patches and website. 

Our ambition is to support to our members through:

• Insurance including legal assistance. 
• Membership benefits with discounts and offers. 
• Being able to qualify for International Mountain Leader (IML) through UIMLA. 
• Inform non-profit and commercial parties about our members’ skills.
