Tramping Program and Instruction Courses for 2015

      

Alpine Sports Club is a Tramping, Skiing and Mountaineering club based in Auckland New Zealand.

              

The club has over 500 members, it owns 2 Ski lodges on Mt Ruapehu and a very well appointed bush hut in the Waitakere Ranges, an hours drive from downtown Auckland.

      

The club runs regular day and weekend tramping trips to the local and Northland ranges and as far afield as the Ureweras, Kaimais, Coromandels, Ruahines, Kawekas, Kaimanawas and Tongariro National Park. During the Christmas break there are regular tramping trips to the South Island and Stewart Island.

    

Alpine Sports Club runs regular Alpine Instruction, general mountain and bushcraft skills courses, ski instruction and ski touring (ski mountaineering) courses.

         

Each Christmas there is a very popular camp at a suitable site for tramping and summer water sports. The site is usually away from the major camping areas, available only to club members.

    

The range of club activities include:-

  • Regular weekend and day tramping, most weekends

  • Sea Kayaking and occasional caving

  • Family Activities centered on the club facilities in the Waitakeres and at Ruapehu
