Résumé anglais Summary. — Mountaineers associations-the most notable was the Club Alpin Français-were founded between 1874 and 1914. Their creation was made possible by the increasing importance of sports and patriotism after the defeat of 1870. For a long time summer mountaineering (climbing and rambling) was the main activity of these associations. They carried out a programme dealing with an increased knowledge of the moutains and sporting facilities in the Alps. Building shelters was their main concern. Science 1950 the creation of technical organisations encouraged the growth of mountaineering for every one. As a result the role of these associations has been reduced, except for the C.A.F. association, and they still survive because of skiing. They con only hope to carry on and grow by practising a more various and complete alpinism.
