In addition to the 23 founding members, two Portuguese associations, the Alpenverein Südtirol , the Balkan Mountaineering Union , the Club Arc Alpin and the Mountaineering Union of Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina were joined by December 2019 .

The Vice-President of the DAV, Roland Stierle, was elected as the first President. The EUMA represents around 3.0 million mountain sports enthusiasts.

“Together we can make a huge contribution to safety in mountain sports and to improving the network of huts and trails. And together we can also very effectively promote nature conservation in and free access to the European mountains "

In 2018, the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (UIAA) and the EUMA agreed to work together .
