With membership, experienced and aspiring alpinists benefit from a varied meets programme, regional lectures with notable guest speakers, reduced rates at many alpine huts, opportunity to apply for grants to support expeditions, significant discounts at many UK retailers, extensive networking contacts, access to the AC Library and maps - and more!

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 11 August 2024
After two great years on the shores of Lake Geneva we are changing things up this year and moving to Lake Annecy.
We will be staying at Camping La Chapelle. Attendees are encouraged to book their own camping and then let the meet organiser know so that he can arrange for everyone to be based in the same area of the site.
As with previous years the focus is on outddoor-related family fun with swimming, cycling, climbing, via ferrata and hiking options all easily accessible in the area around Lake Annecy. As with previous years, there is also the potential for parents to escape from the family for a day to themselves.
