Orienteering in Canzo
Can you orient yourself in a nat-
ural environment? orienteering is
a navigation sport that combines
both physical and mental challeng-
es, and this is the chance to give
it a first, fun try! after a pleasant
hike in the beautiful Canzo forest
and along the ravella torrent, we
will reach the enchanted meadows
of Prim’alpe, just below Corni di
Canzo mountain. There we will en-
joy this playful experience, learning
how to use a map and compass,
and find control points among trees
and paths nearby… to get lost, and
find ourselves again!
