Protecting an Outdoor Life
Worth Living

The voice of Aotearoa New Zealand’s outdoor recreation community, we stand for the freedom of the hills.

Federated Mountain Clubs represents individuals and 100 clubs who explore Aotearoa New Zealand’s wild places. We celebrate outdoor recreation, cherish our backcountry and take action to protect both for future generations.

FMC is an independent, not-for-profit organisation. Founded in 1931, we now represent over 22,000 outdoors people.
