The ACC has 28 alpine huts and 20 regional club sections across Canada. We offer mountain adventures throughout the country and around the world. We publish books and journals related to mountain culture. We provide support for access and environmental issues, an avenue into competition climbing, financial grants that support a variety of mountaineering-related projects and much more.

Want to meet other backcountry enthusiasts? Our 20 local "Sections" from Vancouver Island to Montreal are the heart and soul of the Club. The Sections offer Club trips every weekend, interspersed with backcountry courses for beginners through experts. Whether you are a hiker, backcountry skier, snowshoer, ice climber, rock climber or mountaineer, the ACC has an activity for you.
