When, in 1888 it became necessary to be licensed by the Canton to act as a guide, Michael<br />
Gasser and Albin <strong>Infanger</strong> obtained licenses as local guides for Isenthal and the<br />
surrounding area and Josef Maria Baumann from Geisswang Seelisberg was licensed to<br />
guide up to Mount Uri-Rotstock via Hangbaum. Two<br />
other applicants were refused licenses because they were<br />
too young. Johann Gasser, landlord <strong>of</strong> the restaurant<br />
'Zum Tourist' also became licensed as a local guide. On<br />
April 21, 1894 Jost and Josef Aschwanden from Isenthal<br />
were registered as local guides, followed by Karl<br />
Aschwanden. Demand for these (guide) services ceased<br />
with the beginning <strong>of</strong> The First World War and it was<br />
decades before Alois <strong>Infanger</strong>, the founder and current<br />
Director <strong>of</strong> the Mountain Climbing School "Montanara" reestablished<br />
the mountain guide business in Isenthal.<br />
1990 in the Isenthal create the native mountain leader<br />
Alois <strong>Infanger</strong> the mountain climber school Montanara.<br />
