Svenska Klätterförbundet

Svenska Klätterförbundet is the national governing body for climbing and alpine skiing in Sweden, with its office on Södermalm in Stockholm. The federation brings together hundreds of climbing clubs across the country and works to develop the sport at all levels – from beginners to national team level.

Its activities cover a broad range: training instructors and coaches, organising competitions within Sverigecupen, supporting clubs that wish to build climbing gyms or apply for funding, and managing access to outdoor climbing through Accessdatabasen. The federation also handles facility certification, climbing badges and paraclimbing.

For those who want to start climbing, the federation offers guidance on finding courses and a climbing club nearby, information about the green and red card system, and a training calendar with upcoming courses. The federation is affiliated with Riksidrottsförbundet and collaborates with international organisations such as UIAA and IFSC.
