About AMHF

The Armenian Mountaineering and Mountain Tourism Federation has been operating since February, 2011. The goal of the federation was to promote mountaineering, mountain tourism and the forming of culture of climbing. When the federation was just formed, our memories were merely the achievements of the Armenian alpinists in the Soviet Union, suggesting that there is much to do in order to give the word “mountaineering” a new and active breath. It was clear that we had to make every effort for reviving the mountaineering in Armenia. Trainings, seminars, discussions, meetings with Armenian mountaineers living outside of Armenia, as well as with foreign mountaineers have been organized and conducted. An exchange of experience has taken place by these meetings, which has promoted to the improvement of mountaineering skills and knowledge. Groups of 5-7 people pass the mountaineering theoretical and practical training program twice a year, and year by year our ranks are filled with experienced mountaineers who have a great role for developing the climbing in Armenia. It is difficult to say what kind of mountain enthusiasm, pride and admiration among the mountain lovers and mountaineers, when we have a successful ascent. And we have not had such feelings once. During the first years of the Federation’s formation, it was a great achievement to climb Kazbek, Elbrus, Mount Ararat and Damavand, and today we can confidently say that the height, the difficulties and the map have changed.

The federation has always appreciated the cooperation with neighboring countries, other federations and organizations, which found its reflection of the memorandum signing of cooperation.

Mountaineering is widely regarded as a lifestyle, which prompts us to stress the importance of relationships between men with men, human with nature, humanity to mountains, feelings and sincerity are important as well. It is through all of these that we use every possible means to form a sincere, warm, friendly, immediate and friendly environment. Our hospitable staff is ready to provide you with the necessary advice, professional books, or in case of necessity or more you can read your favorite book, drink tea, discuss issues you are interested in, make suggestions, use maps and just chat.

Being excited about the achievements of these years, we believe that they will become more and expand in the future, for which we are ready to work with great love.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts.
