Description

Immerse yourself in a captivating and mysterious landscape to test your sense of direction.

The orientation challenge takes participants into the great outdoors for a team-based treasure hunt. Equipped with a map and compass, teams set off to find hidden checkpoints in the forest.

Along the route, they must also solve riddles about the local region. Everyone follows the same set of challenges, but each team takes a different route, making the search more strategic.

Teams can move at a faster pace for a more sporty experience or take their time and enjoy the surroundings. A full briefing starts the activity, while mountain guides provide supervision.

With a start and finish point, timing and a prize ceremony, the challenge has the feel of an organised race. It combines navigation, problem-solving, communication and teamwork.
