If we previously talked about how to federate, in this article we will talk about the different federative licenses that exist. Not all of us like to practice the same mountain sports nor have the same needs, right?

There are different types of federative licenses depending on the needs of each mountaineer. Here we present them to you so that you can choose the one that best suits what you are looking for and purchase it.
