What Alpine Clubs and Federations have reciprocal rights with the Poqueira Refugio?

To the best of our knowledge the following have reciprocal rights for reduced Poqueira Refugio hut and meal fees:
Federación Andaluza de Montañismo
Austrian Alpine Club
Deutscher Alpenverein
Club Alpin Francais
Italian Alpine Club
Club Alpin Swiss

The affiliations normally run from January to December each year and are very good value. Rather surprisingly, the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) does not have these reciprocal rights with Andalucian huts.

By showing your affiliated card the price of a nights stay at the Poqueira hut drops from about 11 to 5 euros and a similar drop is experienced in meal costs.

If only climbing or trekking in Andalucia I would recommend the Federación Andaluza de Montañismo. As we climb throughout the world we use the Austrian Alpine Club.
