Three reasons to discover orienteering

Adventure and Discovery

You have the opportunity to explore forests, mountains, parks and other beautiful places while discovering nooks and crannies you might not otherwise have explored. Each route presents you with new challenges, picturesque landscapes and surprises that make every outing a rewarding adventure experience.

Mental Stimulation

Orientation racing requires a combination of physical and mental skills. You have to read the map carefully, make quick decisions about the best route to take, adjust your plan to the natural elements and solve puzzles to locate markers. It stimulates your mind, improves your problem-solving skills and encourages you to pay attention to your surroundings.

Fitness & Wellness

Orientation running is a complete physical activity. Running or walking over varied terrain, uphill and downhill, stimulates your cardiovascular endurance and strengthens your muscles. Depending on your speed and the difficulty of the course, orienteering can be adapted to different fitness levels.

A complete sporting discipline

Orientation racing is a sporting and recreational discipline that combines navigation, running and puzzle-solving. It generally takes place outdoors, where participants, called orienteers, must find a certain number of markers scattered around a natural environment with the help of a map and compass. This discipline has gained popularity around the world as a competitive sport, but is also enjoyed by many amateurs who love the aspect of discovery and adventure it offers.

Orientation running is a fantastic way to combine physical exercise, nature exploration and mental stimulation. It encourages rapid decision-making, map reading, navigation skills development and improved fitness.
