The Fédération Française de la Montagne et de l'Escalade (FFME; German : French Mountain and Climbing Association ) based in Paris is an association for the promotion of non-motorized alpine sports, especially in the areas of mountaineering , canyoning , climbing , expeditions , mountain hiking and tours, snowshoeing and tours , as well as ski tours .

FFME is an associate member of the National Olympic Committee, the CNOSF , a member association in the International Federation of Sport Climbing , the International Ski Mountaineering Federation and was a member of the UIAA . The FFME includes the Société des Touristes du Dauphiné (STD).

history

The original association, in addition to the already existing Club Alpin Français (CAF), was founded by the Sports Commissioner ( Haut Commissariat aux Sports ) in 1942 under the name Fédération Française de la Montagne (FFM). At that time, the promotion of sport in France was reorganized. At first there was a desire to convert the Club Alpin Français into a mountain sports association. Due to reservations of the long-standing CAF, however, a parallel structure was created with the establishment of the then FFM, which continues to this day. Since then, the two organizations have been pursuing slightly different approaches to promoting mountain sports.

The FFME itself states 1945 as the year of foundation. In that year, the FFM was given the organization of mountain sports by decree.

In 1985 the Fédération française d'escalade (FFE) was founded, which already started organizing climbing competitions in 1986. In 1987 the Fédération française de la montagne (FFM) and the Fédération française d'escalade (FFE) merged to form the Fédération française de la montagne et de l'escalade (FFME) . In 2002/2003 the attempt to merge the FFME with the CAF failed .

In 2002 the FFME supported the International Council for Ski Mountaineering Competitions (ICSM) in organizing the first world championship in ski mountaineering in France.

Pierre You has been president since 2005. At the FFME General Assembly in March 2013 in Avon - Fontainebleau , he was confirmed in office with over 55 percent of the votes.

Annapurna Expedition 1950

Under the direction of Lucien Devies , the FFM organized the successful first ascent of Annapurna in the early summer of 1950 with the participants Maurice Herzog , Louis Lachenal , Lionel Terray , Gaston Rébuffat , Marcel Ichac (a pioneer of mountain films), Jean Couzy , Marcel Schatz , Jacques Oudot ( Doctor) and Francis de Noyelle (organization). The marketing of this first successful ascent of an eight-thousander ever turned into a financial success. Lectures, the book Annapurna, premier 8000 (German: Annapurna. First eight-thousander ) by Maurice Herzog, the illustrated book Regards vers l'Annapurna , the film Victoire sur l'Annapurna by Marcel Ichac and others brought considerable income to the FFM in the following years the equipment for further expeditions made possible.

tasks and goals

In France, the FFME has the government mandate to organize and promote the following sports:

The FFME continues to develop related disciplines such as mountaineering including mountain hiking and conducts expeditions, whereby it or its predecessor organization FFM was involved in numerous climbs worldwide, including the first ascent of Annapurna in 1950.

In addition to training the French national teams of climbers, ski hikers and the youth team of mountaineers, the FFME organizes competitions and championships and trains beginners as well as referees. Together with other institutions, such as other associations, local partners and CIPRA , it campaigns for free access to training grounds.

FFME members are around 1000 associations in France with around 100,000 members. The work on site takes place in 86 regional groups ( comités territoriaux ). The budget in 2017 was 6.6 million euros.

National leaderboards

The FFME publishes national leaderboards in sport climbing and ski mountaineering every year . These rankings serve not only to list the best French athletes but also to form the respective national teams.
