Structure

The AASR works in 33 degrees, which have evolved historically. Each degree represents a specific step of study, starting with the 4th degree, and can be reached in the course of time. The 33rd degree administrative.

Craft Degrees 1 to 3 are conferred by the Grand Lodge Alpina of Switzerland.

This arrangement was contractually agreed between the AASR and the Grand Lodge in 1873.
