It is easy to learn how to orienteer, however the sport provides endless intellectual and physical challenges to elite level. Typically different courses provide for a range of abilities. Orienteering is a sport for the whole family. Competitive orienteering involves using a detailed map to navigate one's way around a course with designated control points.
