DESCRIPTION
During 2 intense days we cover every single manner relevant to cartography, orientation and trip planning. Plan ahead from a map, making altitude profiles and estimating time and distance of your trip. For sure you will be able to plan a safer and more pleasant trip through the mountains either by day or by night.

The courses is directed to both people who love to go out for a walk and already possess basic knowledge but want to learn more and beginners that first wish to settle a good base of orientation and mapping before going out for the real. Theory and practice are just as important, for that reason many practical exercises are included so that every student can learn on its own level in the most efficient way possible.
