ARMENIAN HIKING AND MOUNTAINEERING FEDERATION

The Armenian Hiking and Mountaineering Federation is a Yerevan-based organization founded in February 2011. It was set up to promote mountaineering, mountain tourism and a broader culture of climbing in Armenia.

The federation is a full member of the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA). It runs training and safety-related activities, including search-and-rescue instruction for mountain and forest terrain, and organizes climbing competitions such as a youth sport-climbing championship. Suren Danielyan serves as president.

The federation's site also covers mountaineering medicine, survival skills, skyrunning and slacklining, and lists climbing routes and mountains across Armenia.

Located in Yerevan, roughly 3 km south of the city center in a straight line.
