The club does not centrally book a single Alps trip, but members who are interested in heading to the Alps together are encouraged to let people know and start discussions early on suitable venues, dates and objectives. As well as classic alpine mountaineering, there are quite a few interested in Via Ferrata routes, these can be found throughout the alpine countries, but are particularly numerous in the italian dolomites. There is an Alps and Expeditions Chat in the WMC community WhatsApp.For 2026 it is proposed to meet in the Saastal/Zermatt area on the dates listed as a focal point for members wishing to climb. There are many objectives in the area suitable for a wide range of abilities and experience. See links below.
For novices seeking good value professional instruction, the following are recommended.
