BECOME A MEMBER
You can be a member of Alppikerho in a few different ways:
Alppikerho membership (+ SKIL = Finnish Climbing Association membership)
Junior membership (+ SKIL = Finnish Climbing Association membership)
Supporting membership (+ SKIL = Finnish Climbing Association membership)
Alppikerho membership
Drytooling support membership (right to use Drytooling Tower in the current season 1.9.-30.8.)
Information about member benefits.
When you join, you pay for the current calendar year's membership, and therefore those who join at the end of the year (1.9.–31.12.) pay a lower membership fee.
Joining instructions
Pay the joining and membership fee in the online store.
The member manager checks that the membership fee and the necessary information are in order. This step is done manually, and there may be a delay during e.g. holidays. However, if the information and membership fee have been handled correctly, the membership is valid from the day following the payment date.
When the member manager has confirmed the membership in the register, you will receive an activation link to the member register by email. Log in via the link you received, check your information and download the membership card. Keep the login information for the member register. In the member register, you can update e.g. your address information and download the membership card.
NOTE link expires! If the link has expired, contact jasen(at)alppikerho.fi.
According to the insurance conditions, the climbing insurance is valid when you pay the membership fee during January. If you pay later, it will take effect on the day of payment at 24:00 or at the time of payment. Keep the payment receipt, which shows the payment time. The insurance ends on 31.12. In the event of an accident, the validity of the insurance is proven with the receipt of the membership fee of the Finnish Climbing Association (paid to the member club). Everyone who has a receipt for the membership fee is covered by the insurance.
In the future, the membership fee invoice will be sent annually in January. You can leave a resignation notice in the membership register if you do not want to continue your membership.
