100 Years of Ski Mountaineering

Welcome

The Alpine Ski Club is an active and friendly club of independent ski mountaineers. It was the first ski-mountaineering club in Britain (founded by Arnold Lunn in 1908).
The objectives of the club are to promote mountaineering on ski and to encourage good fellowship amongst ski-mountaineers; to encourage mountaineering expeditions on ski throughout the world and to promote a better knowledge of the mountains in winter.
For more information on how to join see Membership.
