If we previously discussed how to become a federation member, this article will cover the different types of federative licences available. Not all of us enjoy the same mountain sports or have the same needs, do we?

There are different types of federative licences depending on each mountaineer's needs. Here we present them so you can choose the one that best suits your requirements and purchase it.

This applies to mountain sports practised within the issuing province and covers hiking, camping, trekking, climbing walls, climbing, canyoning, hillwalking, caving, mountain running, ski mountaineering, snowshoeing and via ferrata. The price is €34 for youths and €60 for adults.
