Training for pilgrim escorts
There are many good reasons to meet other pilgrims before and after a pilgrimage, to do something together, to exchange experiences and to allow the good feeling of pilgrimage to develop.
Trained pilgrim guides, who are organized in the pilgrim guide network of the jakobsweg.ch association, offer corresponding services throughout the year.
