About Us
The Alpine Club of Canada is a non-profit organization established in Winnipeg in 1906. We have been promoting mountaineering, fostering a sense of adventure, and encouraging responsible recreation in alpine environments for over a century.
​​​
The Manitoba Section of the Alpine Club of Canada is a volunteer-based group that runs events and activities throughout the year for everyone of all skill levels. In the warmer months, we run rock-climbing, bouldering, biking, and hiking trips. In the colder months, we offer cross-country & downhill skiing, and snowshoeing trips. All of our events are led by our volunteers, who are some of the most knowledgeable and passionate members of our outdoor community. Come join one of our events and get an insider's view of the many amazing outdoor areas where we play.
