Mountaineering / Climbing / Hiking Club for non-French speakers
May 9, 2012 @ 14:32

Hi, does anybody know any Mountaineering / Climbing / Hiking clubs in Geneva that are good for non-French speakers? I moved to Geneva 6 months ago and am slowly picking up French but at this point it's not really usable so am looking for an English-speaking group/club - e.g. like an English-speaking version of the Swiss Alpine Club.


I was a member of a great club in the US and would love to join something similar and get up in the mountains this summer, but don't want to my lack of language skills to hold me back!


Thanks, Steve

Not sure if you still in Swutzerland. If you advise your level, type of hiking you are interested in I can make some suggestions

Thanks, am still in Switzerland though will probably do more skiing/snowboarding over the winter than climbing or hiking. I'm trying to get into backcountry skiing this season so if you know any good clubs for that I'd love to hear about them.


For next spring/summer I'd like to climb some of the higher mountains in the Alps and do some glacier hiking but prefer a club environment to using a professional guide. I have a medium level of experience in that area - e.g. have climbed Rainier, Baker and similar in the US
