Mountaineering is a sporting activity that involves climbing a high altitude mountain.

With this in mind, it is worth mentioning that the Alps are a mountain range that is located on the European continent and spans Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy, Monaco, Germany, Liechtenstein and Slovenia. Its highest peak reaches 4810 meters above sea level: it is Mont Blanc, located between France and Italy. The SAR also accepts the notion of Alps to refer to any mountain of considerable height.

Mountaineering, on the other hand, is synonymous with mountaineering and even mountaineering (the latter concept has its origin in the Andes, a mountain range of the American continent). This means that when a person decides to climb a large mountain, it can be indicated that he is practicing mountaineering, mountaineering or mountaineering.

The term mountaineering is often understood as the sport practiced in the high mountains, that is, high mountaineering. Thus, who ascends the mountains, is called "mountaineer" or "mountaineer" and not who only practices one of the specialties mentioned. Also, when talking about a course or mountaineering manual, it focuses on hiking in the mountains and not the full range of specialties mentioned.
