Bruno Engler: Swiss mountain guide (UIAGM, ACGM), climber, ski instructor, cinematographer, occasional actor, writer, story teller and high altitude photographer. Born in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1915, he came to Canada in 1939 and spent over 60 years in the Canadian Rockies.
Bruno was the recipient of numerous awards including the Alberta Achievement Award for Excellence, the Premier Cup for Photography and Mountaineering, and the prestigious Rose Award presented at the World Environmental Festival in 1986 in Ottawa, Canada. He also received an honourary lifetime achievement award from IATSE, the international photographer’s guild. He was named an honourary member of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides in 1975.
In 1987, at the Banff Festival of Mountain Films, Bruno was selected as the recipient for the inaugural Summit of Excellence Award, representing the highest of honours from his peers in the mountain community for his contributions to Canadian Rockies culture and for his enthusiasm and dedication to photography, guiding and skiing.

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
