Abstract:	In this paper a brief overview of the project ‘Public Safety & Commercial Info Mobility Applications & Services in the Mountains’ (PARAMOUNT) is given. PARAMOUNT aims at improving user-friendly infomobility services for mountaineers by combining telecommunications (GSM/GPRS, UMTS) and satellite navigation (GNSS) with geographic information systems (GIS), based on a Mobile Client / Server architecture. The main objectives and the concept of the corresponding core services that will be developed (‘INFOTOUR’, ‘SAFETOUR’ and ‘DATATOUR’) are presented in the first part of the paper. After that a description of the main tasks that have to be performed within the PARAMOUNT project is given. Finally another related project (ASTRON/VISPA), which aims at demonstrating the feasibility of a server-connected digital tour guide for mountaineers, is briefly presented.
