Orienteering consists of following a predefined route marked by checkpoints called 'flags' (pegs with a punch) with the exclusive help of a compass and a very detailed small-scale topographical map containing details of the place to be travelled.

An experienced instructor will initially conduct a theoretical part where the maps will be handed out, the legend explained, what contour lines are, how to orient the map, what the objectives of the experience are. This part will be preparatory to the actual experience that will involve the group in an engaging activity among the villages and woods of Val di Sole in Trentino.

An orienteering experience is ideal for schools, groups and corporate team building.

Orienteering greatly develops cognitive skills as it requires active participation of the mind to interpret maps, make timely decisions and maintain orientation. This stimulates skills such as map reading, problem solving and planning.

Orienteering requires constantconcentration to interpret the terrain and navigate through checkpoints, thus contributing to improved concentration and focusing skills.

Orienteering fosters team spirit, as it can be structured as a group activity that encourages collaboration, communication, mutual trust and shared problem-solving.

The need to tackle varied terrain and overcome unforeseen challenges during orienteering promotes adaptability and real-time problem-solving skills that are transferable to different situations in daily life and in the business context.

The outdoor experience during orienteering contributes to psycho-physical well-being by providing a stimulating environment that is different from the closed environments common in many learning activities.

The adventurous element makes theexperience engaging and motivating for participants, increasing active participation and enthusiasm.

The presence of checkpoints enables performance measurement, providing objective feedback and offering opportunities for continuous improvement.

Finally, the versatility of orienteering allows for adaptation to different contexts and disciplines, making it suitable for school educational programmes and corporate team building activities.

Orienteering can be done all year round and in a variety of situations. For example, it can be done on a mountain bike, with snowshoes or in the classic mode. Or in the 'treasure hunt' variant where at the end participants will enjoy a cheerful barbecue (only those who find food along the way, though!).

The duration of the experience can vary according to demand, the indicated time is 2 to 3 hours, including theory part. The meeting point is 30 minutes before the start of the activity. There is the possibility of lengthening or shortening the duration of the activity according to requests.
