The Società Alpinistica Ticinese (SAT) was the umbrella organization of several Ticino alpine clubs . The SAT sections continue to exist under the Ticino umbrella organization Federazione Alpinistica Ticinese (FAT).

history

Towards the end of the 1930s, alpine clubs separated from the Ticino workers' alpine club Unione Ticinese Operai Escursionisti (UTOE). In 1938, the former Lugano , Ritom and Lucomagno sections of the UTOE founded the Società Alpinistica Ticinese (SAT) .

Due to the danger of war, the SAT wanted to give more weight to physical training for club work. The Swiss militia army was dependent on the mountain soldiers gaining alpine experience in their free time. The editors of the alpinist magazine “Stella Alpina” publicly advocated bringing alpinism closer to the army. Mountaineering should be considered more practical and, above all, more military .

After the Second World War, SAT and UTOE came closer and merged in 1965 under the umbrella organization Federazione Alpinistica Ticinese (FAT).
