An orienteering race in Geneva: markers, riddles and team spirit

With the Orienteering Challenge, turn the Geneva countryside into a life-size playground. The idea? In teams, set off to find markers scattered across the heights of the Salève or the Geneva countryside. At each marker, a riddle to solve to score points — and sometimes a hosted challenge waiting for you! A team building in Geneva that blends thinking, strategy and fresh air.

Choosing your route, managing time, sharing out roles, solving the riddles: every decision counts. You move forward together, think, take on the challenges — and it’s cohesion and communication that win the day, far more than speed. Want to go further? For the boldest, we design a more advanced version, map and compass in hand.
