Orienteering is an outdoor navigation activity that combines running or walking with map and compass skills. Participants move across varied terrain to locate checkpoints, testing endurance, route choice and navigation accuracy rather than speed alone.
ActivitySure can cover orienteering when you are taking part abroad at an amateur level, including organised events and training sessions, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. While it is often well organised, orienteering usually takes place in natural environments where conditions can change quickly, making suitable travel insurance an important consideration.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for orienteering?
Orienteering is particularly popular in Scandinavia, where extensive forests and open landscapes are ideal for navigation-based challenges. Countries such as Sweden and Norway host a wide range of events, from beginner-friendly courses to advanced competitions.
The activity is also well established in Switzerland and the UK, where mountainous areas, woodlands and parkland provide varied terrain for organised events and recreational participation.
Here's why orienteering travel insurance matters:
Orienteering often involves travelling across uneven ground, slopes and remote areas, which can increase the risk of slips, falls or minor injuries. Changes in weather or navigation errors can also extend time on course, increasing fatigue. If you are injured or become unwell while abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required, making appropriate travel insurance important for peace of mind.
Helpful travel tips
- Take care when moving through unfamiliar or uneven terrain.
- Keep track of markers and regularly confirm your position on the map.
- Carry basic safety items as recommended by organisers, such as a whistle or first aid essentials.
- Note emergency access points or safety information marked on your map.
- Always follow instructions provided by event organisers and wear appropriate safety equipment for outdoor conditions.
