Orienteering is a sport that consists of completing a defined course on a very precise map. It can also be a pretext for a walk in nature where you can test your ability to find your way in space.
To practice this physical activity, it is necessary to know how to read a map, to transpose it to the terrain (ability to link the elements of the map with those of the terrain and vice-versa), to know the meaning of the legends and to understand the scales of the terrain. A fun activity for everyone.

The course is marked by 9 markers, placed on remarkable elements of the terrain, which are referenced on the map as obligatory points of passage. Punch with the clips attached to the different markers.
