In the page's words:

26,000 mountain enthusiasts in Cologne and the Rhineland are organized in the Cologne Alpine Club. We are out and about in the Alps and low mountain ranges all year round, practicing all facets of mountain sports from leisurely to ambitious to extreme.

We offer a large touring and hiking program, training courses, discounts at over 2,000 huts in the Alps and in the region's climbing and bouldering halls as well as a tailor-made insurance package.

The Cologne Alpine Club - officially the Rheinland-Köln e.V. section of the German Alpine Club - was founded in 1876, making it the oldest section in the Rhineland. The Cologne Alpine Club is currently the tenth largest section of the German Alpine Club (DAV).
