Nestled in the heart of Canterbury, the NZ Alpine Club (Canterbury - Westland) invites adventurers to explore the rugged Alps from Christchurch's doorstep. As the largest section of the New Zealand Alpine Club with over 1,240 members, we foster climbing, mountaineering, and backcountry exploration across Aotearoa. Guardians of Arthurs Pass Lodge in Arthur's Pass National Park, our 28-bunk hub welcomes climbers, trampers, skiers, and walkers. Connect with the mountains, share skills, promote safety, and respect the alpine environment in this awe-inspiring playground of glaciated peaks and wild landscapes.
