Infos & Booking
Description
I propose you to come in the Vercors and learn to orientate yourself, to use a compass, a GPS, a localisation application on your smartphone... all year long. The tools are evolving and full of possibilities are available to us to orient ourselves in the field. But the basics of orientation remain the same: know how to read a map, use the compass, do a triangulation...
During half a day I organize for you an orienteering race around the village of Villard-de-Lans in the Vercors massif, during which you will find tags and solve riddles. You will evolve hiking or snowshoeing, depending on the season and the weather conditions.
This outing is only for groups already formed with a minimum of 8 people.
The price is fixed (135€), to be divided between the participants.
To train you, discover the mountains or observe the local fauna, I also offer themed outings such as :
- snowshoeing in the Vercors massif on the theme of the wolf,
- snowshoe outings in Villard-de-Lans to introduce you to snow knowledge,
- cross the Vercors on snowshoes, from the Col de Rousset to Corrençon-en-Vercors,
- the deer rut show around Villard-de-Lans,
- and a wildlife observation hike in the Vercors.
