European Championships of Ski Mountaineering

The European Championships of Ski Mountaineering were the European championships for national ski mountaineering teams from 1992[1] to 2009. They were held biannually and were separated into 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 with 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.[2] The original 9th edition, in 2009 decided to be held in Claut, Italy, in the end was held as the 6th edition of the World Championships.
