European Championships of Ski Mountaineering
Encyclopedia
The European Championships of Ski Mountaineering have been the European championships for national ski mountaineering
teams since 1992, currently held biannually. There are both men's and women's competitions.
The first championships were sanctioned by the Comité International du Ski-Alpinisme de Compétition
(CISAC). After the CISAC was merged to the International Council for Ski Mountaineering Competitions
(ISMC) of the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme
(UIAA), the competitions are held biannually by the ISCM. Since 2008, when the ISMC merged into the International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) the championships have been sanctioned by the ISMF.
