The lectures provide a good opportunity for AC members to meet one another and exchange news, views and information. New members and prospective members are particularly welcome. Prospective members are asked to contact the AC office before attending. Lectures generally start at 7:30pm.
For the lectures in London, non-members are asked to register their attendance in advance either by filling in the relevant form on the lecture page or by contacting the office at admin@alpineclub.org (Please note that a donation is requested on entry).
Anyone who has had an interesting trip and would be prepared to lecture is invited to contact the AC Office or the lecture organisers.
Each event includes a clickable map with the address of the venue.
Events Calendar
To Sunday 25 February 2024
For our 2024 ice climbing meet, the Club will be heading to the basin in and around the Hemsedal and Gol valleys, Norway. The area is host to an abundance of both roadside and more adventurous ice cragging and our trip will coincide with the publication of a new guidebook to the region.
The plan is for members to fly to Oslo where we will share hire cars for the journey to our self-catering lodge (with Sauna and hot tub) in Hemsedal.
Rough costs: £190 for flights, £200 for accommodation, £130 for car hire and fuel and £150 for food and drink.
Full details to follow soon.
A total of 10-12 places are available.
