WHAT DO I NEED TO DO RASOS DE PEGUERA’S ORIENTEERING TRAIL?

Get the trail map; there you’ll find all the topographic information of the place and, besides, the landmarks you’ll meet along the way properly marked with a circle.

To orient the map correctly to the north, we’ll need the help of a compass; especially if the place is unknown to us.

WHAT IS AN ORIENTEERING TRAIL?

An orienteering trail is a permanently marked route that allows people to follow it whenever they please.

The purpose of marking the permanent orienteering trails is to make accessible to everybody the chance of practising and learning this sporting discipline, so necessary to anybody who intends to hike autonomously through the mountains, with the only help of a map and a compass.

TRAILS MADE TO LEARN ORIENTEERING

Moreover, and even though our trails have an easy and safe design planned for beginners and families, we want people who follow our trails to also discover this thriving sporting discipline. It has grown extremely in Bergueda, where orienteering is at its best moment, thanks to the Club Orientació Bergueda.

Practising orienteering you’ll exercise, you’ll improve your physical fitness and even your mental health, because the activity is done in the splendid landscape of Rasos de Peguera. It will also improve your concentration and memory mental capacities.

Orienteering is completely accessible to all the family, being as it is a very inclusive sport. Bring your children to spend a playful morning or afternoon at Bergueda. Be closer to your family circle while you learn how to hike safely, freely and respectfully through nature.

ORIENTEERING ADVICE; SAFETY IN AN ORIENTEERING TRAIL WITH FAMILY

If you are going on your own, please do not leave children unattended.
If you are a group, you must always be together and never leave anyone behind.
Avoid taking cross-country routes unless it is required by the location of the landmark. Follow the forestry roads and paths of the resort; it’s all you need to find all the landmarks.
Equip yourselves properly; bear in mind that Rasos de Peguera is a mountain resort: wear appropriate footwear, a coat and bring water.
Always check the weather forecast before starting any orienteering trail and, if it is unfavourable, consider hiking another time.
If during the activity you feel disoriented, we recommend you to retrace your steps and return to the last known point.
Always try to follow this rule of three: locate three elements on the map to confirm your position.

If you run into a damaged landmark, please, report it to us via Contact on our website

READ THE MAP

Once we have the orienteering trail’s topographical map, we should take a quick look at the closest elements to us. We should try to point them on the map, just to make sure we understand all the information and items correctly.

To create our map, we used the ones from the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya (Cartographic and Geologic Institute of Catalonia).

The items you’ll find in our map are explained in the following list; but bear in mind that such elements may differ in symbolism from other maps.

  • North and contour lines: The first thing you must consider is orienting the map to the north. Doing so, the starting point will be correctly located and it will be easier and safer to read the map and compare it with our real location.

The contour lines are imaginary lines which link points at the same height, so in places with a steep slope they will be closer to each other; on the other hand, in a flat surface, they will spread further from each other.

  • Buildings: Even though we’ll be mountain hiking, at Rasos de Peguera there are several buildings and some infrastructures necessary for the functioning of the resort. So, these constructions are represented on the map and can be very useful for us to know how to locate ourselves in the environment. You’ll find them on the map painted in salmon; use them to locate yourself.
  • Torrents, pits and ponds: Painted in blue, the deepest part of the torrents and the pits is properly marked with a line. Regarding the ponds, they are shown as blue bodies of water, occupying as much of the space as the pond can fill.
  • Forest mass: On the map, you will mainly find two colours: white, to mark the lack of trees; and green, to indicate the presence of the forest. This might be a useful item to consider in order to locate your position.
  • Roads, paths and forestry roads: Easy to identify, they are duly ranked regarding their importance, considering the road the most important, and so, marked with two black lines that follow its shape. It is the same for the forestry roads, but the line is shallower. Finally, you’ll see that the paths are indicated with discontinuous lines.

WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THE ACTIVITY AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. PLEASE, BE CONSIDERATE AND THOUGHTFUL TOWARDS THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
