Randonée orientation et lecture de carte

Starting at the Church of Saint-Nicolas de Véroce, this themed hike introduces you to the basics of navigation and map reading in the mountains, all the way to the hamlet of Les Chattrix. Led by a mid-mountain guide from the Compagnie des Guides, this fun and educational outing will teach you how to navigate in the field: map reading, understanding terrain, using natural landmarks, and an introduction to the compass. An ideal experience to gain independence while enjoying an exceptional natural setting. Open to ages 8 and up, this activity takes place in small groups (maximum 10 participants), encouraging interaction and hands-on practice. To get there, we recommend using the free shuttle: • Outbound: departs from Châtelet at 8:50 AM to the Saint-Nicolas Church stop, arriving at 9:05 AM • Return: departs from Les Chattrix at 12:13 PM to Châtelet, arriving at 12:27 PM What to bring: • High-top hiking boots that provide good ankle support (soft après-ski boots or low-top shoes are not suitable—rental options are available in the villages); • A drink and a snack; • Sunglasses and sunscreen; • A hat, scarf, or balaclava; • warm and/or appropriate clothing; • a backpack suitable for a half-day hike, large enough to carry your belongings and store a jacket during the ascent.
