Hiking Groups


Alpine Club of Canada - Calgary Section (click for details)

Picture
With over 800 members, the Calgary section is one of the largest sections of the ACC. The section offers mountaineering trips of all kinds, (backcountry skiing, ice climbing, rock climbing, and alpine climbing). We also subsidize weekend courses throughout the year covering the full range of mountaineering skills. The Calgary section is very involved in regional access and environment issues, primarily focussed on the Bow Valley, the National Parks, and Kananaskis Country, and the section offers a chance to meet other individuals with similar interests. To take advantage of the many outstanding activities and courses organized by Calgary Section volunteer committees, see here for more details.

Calgary Outdoor Club (click for details)

Picture
Free to join, and open to any adult in Canada, the COC brings people together in a fun, friendly and inviting atmosphere. We strive to offer a variety of events, with some things geared for beginners, some more challenging things, and lots of 'somewhere in the middle' stuff. And, we attempt to keep events as low-cost as possible. A majority of our events take place in the Calgary area, but occasionally we visit our neighboring provinces or travel further away from home.

Each month we have regular outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, biking, inline skating and canoeing (summer) and skiing, boarding, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing (winter), as well as social events, and "special" events such as white water rafting, caving, and dog sled tours.


Calgary Outdoor Recreation Enthusiasts (click for details)

Picture
CORE is a Calgary-based hiking club created in 1999. We are a smaller club of very active members of varying ages. New members have often commented on how welcome they felt when coming out for first events. Our primary activities are day hikes. Check out our past events calendar to see some of the hikes we have done. We also have a very active contingent of scramblers. Check them out here.

Another unique club activity are the urban walks. A great way to get exercise mid-week. Many of us have discovered parts of our city we never knew existed.

 Hiking is our primary activity, but we also have active participation in skiing (cross-country and downhill), snowshoeing, backpacking, camping, cycling, and canoeing. We also hold social events with dinner or movie nights, picnics and barbeques, as well as other group social activities and outings. Trip and event planning is an ongoing process and we welcome and encourage members to get involved by suggesting and/or coordinating activities. We feel the more involved members are, the more fun it is !!!

Calgary Scrambling and Mountaineering Club (click for details)

Picture
We are a diverse, friendly and inviting group of individuals that span a wide range of ages; education; vocations; political, religious and cultural backgrounds. But we share one thing in common. Our love, nay passion, for the mountains! Calgary is our base of operations and the Canadian Rockies is our playground. By using various combinations of our feet and hands we ascend these mountain summits and ridges and are rewarded with some of the finest views and scenery on the planet.

The focus of club events is on those activities and trips whose intent is to reach a mountain ridge or summit or is about learning and developing skills needed for such attempts. These activities range from Easy Scrambles to full on Mountaineering trips and expeditions. This includes such things as scrambling, climbing (sport and trad), alpinism, ice climbing, ski touring/ascents and other general mountaineering activities.
