Orienteering: races and games

Race, think and soak in nature

The orienteering games or races are the ideal activity to really know an area. If you do not want the "noise" of a hiking trail, if you want to test yourself with the help of map and compass, this is your choice.

The games are basically oriented to find a set of points (beacons) hidden in a natural area and previously identified on a map. Players use map and compass to find them.

Our main feature is that we adapt to your level in difficulty, depending on whether or not you have previous experience or even the area or locality of your choice.

The area that we recommend is the Sierra de Tivissa (Ribera d'Ebre)due to its urban and natural characteristics.

We answer you some questions:

But I never used a compass ! We often present tracks where the compass is not required. The important thing is knowing how to interpret a map. Before you start, the monitor gives a briefing about using the map and the compass.
But it's also very fun, practising only with compass. This activity is very similar to the usual gymkhana, but learning the management of the compass and / or a map.

What if I don't like running? A funny experience are the orienteering by bike or even by kayak on the Ebro. Ask us about this option. Yet another possibility is to look for combinations where you have to look for the beacons running, biking and kayaking including a point of archery. As a "raid" on an adventure very affordable.

But is that a race? The ideal is to have a competitive format, but does not have to. You can raise just as the game to find a number of points hidden in a natural setting and get it in small groups, by way of a classic gymkhana.

Am I going to be alone ? Depending on the members of the group, you will practise in couples, groups of 3 or 4 people...

What if I get lost ? The ratio of the guides is always based on the number of participants. The area we play is narrow enough to help anyone to be lost forever. We include some high point to "reorient" if it were the case, really unusual.

How long does it take ? We adapt to your group. We can offer a short  40 minutes race or until 3 or 4 hours. Rogles gives you an estimated duration, and depending on your rythm and skills, it will be longer or not so much.

What is the night orienteering? This is games played during the night. You just night a good light. If you don't know what to do during nights, here you have an scary but funny choice.
