Orienteering is a sport and can be both competitive and non competitive, depending on your requirements. Whilst the activity is physical in nature, the courses can be set up over a range of distances and difficulty levels according to the experience of the group and their ability and the needs of the program. We run successful programs from complete beginners to experienced groups.
Our qualified outdoor instructors plot the routes and are on hand to assist groups during the event without interfering in the teams’ strategy. After the initial training on orienteering and a full safety briefing teams head out into the woods equipped with a map, a compass, a walkie-talkie and a GPS (for emergency use only). Teams navigate in sequence between all marked checked points deciding on the best route to complete the course in the nature.
The activity combines navigational challenges with (optional) integrated team tasks demanding (i.e.) Problem Solving, Lateral Thinking or Communication Skills. Depending on your preferences and what is available in the local area, we can also incorporate BTT (mountain bikes) or kayaks to be used by the teams in their course.
Upon completion of the Outdoor Challenge we all share a well-deserved meal at a charming local restaurant. Finally and depending on the needs of the program we can arrange an in-depth debrief to be held after the activity back in the hotel. Assessment of Strengths and Weaknesses, Careful planning, Team Role Assignment, Goal Setting, Leadership, Handling Burdens… magnificent lakes, picturesque fields of poppies, blue skies… Outdoor Challenge, your off the beaten track team building adventure in Madrid (Sierra de Guadarrama), Barcelona (Montseny, Parque Natural de la Garrotxa) or anywhere Spain!
Hiking, mountain biking, kayaks… Participants, organized in teams, will navigate along trails and tracks to complete a circuit. Immersed in nature and throughout their journey, they will have the opportunity to connect, exchange information, and compete against other teams at designated checkpoints. Our mountain guides will design the route and ensure team safety at all times by tracking their positions and maintaining constant communication, without interfering in their participation or strategy. The event begins with an introductory briefing covering key navigation and safety concepts, such as map reading, compass handling, two-way radios, beacons, and more. The objective is to complete the course within a set time while overcoming the challenges along the way.
These challenges vary widely and are designed to develop core competencies in leadership, teamwork, decision-making, and problem-solving. Teams will go head-to-head to earn points or time bonuses that will prove decisive for overall victory. Uno+Uno Team facilitators will be stationed at each checkpoint to manage the activities and record the results. During the final awards ceremony, this performance data will be presented as a summary of their achievements and dynamics, highlighting valuable insights into each team’s collaborative performance.
While this is an active event, it does not require athletic conditioning beyond a reasonable level of fitness; anyone capable of a brisk walk and driven by a competitive and collaborative spirit can emerge as the champion of Outdoor Challenge. Embark on this outdoor adventure with your colleagues and discover the true power of teamwork.
