The Alpine Club of Canada (ACC) has been Canada’s national mountain club since 1906. With over 15,000 members, the ACC brings together outdoor enthusiasts and facilitates guided trips, local events and volunteer opportunities.
The ACC also operates and maintains the largest network of backcountry huts in North America. They provide lodging in family-friendly cabins in alpine meadows, backcountry powder paradises, remote climbers’ refuges. Each year, they accommodate over 60,000 nights of adventurers sleeping in their huts.
The ACC annually publishes the Canadian Alpine Journal – the definitive chronicle of mountaineering in Canada and by Canadians abroad. More than a book, it serves as a comprehensive archive capturing the year’s most significant climbing achievements, breathtaking photography, and remarkable explorations. Published annually in the summer, the CAJ is available through ACC membership and at select MEC stores Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto.
