More details

This activity and its functioning are rather simple. Like an orienteering race, the principle is to walk from a map in order to find, while moving, checkpoints marked by punching beacons installed here and there, in places that are more or less easy to detect, at the bottom of a slope, in the middle of brambles or ferns, in the shade of a pine tree or by a stream...

The aim is to develop a sense of direction and location and to practice an outdoor sporting activity. The courses are suitable for a wide audience. With friends, family, schools and colleges, leisure centres, everyone will be able to take part in the various tours. Four tours have been defined, with different levels of difficulty, depending on whether you are more or less experienced in this activity.

Maps of the routes are available at the Town Hall and the tourism office during opening hours and online here : https://club-co17.com/eso/

Departures are from Charlie's Café parking.
