Saturday 21 June 2025The 2025 Alpine Club Summer Meet will be based in Vicosoprano in the Bregaglia.
This area is well known for its Rock climbing, not least the Badile, but there are also some stunning opportunities for classical alpinism, including the Piz Bernina. The valley drops down to Chiavenna in Italy

The campsite will allocate an area for us. Please book directly with the campsite and put in the comments box that you are 'with the BAC'.
We plan to run the meet from 21 June to 5 July, but it is probable that some of us will stay on for a few days afterward or move to another area.
The Alpine Club welcomes guests on the summer meet - please write to the meet coordinator with details of your insurance and experience. Sister clubs are also more than welcome, if accompanied by their own coordinator.
