For Mountain Lovers with brain
You are free to choose your own route between the prescribed checkpoints and this must be navigated with the help of only map and compass while carrying everything you need to be self sufficient at the overnight camp and during the 2 days of competition. There is a minimal equipment list comprising essential emergency equipment that must be carried at all times by competitors.
The 3 ,Orienteering Marathon’ courses require navigation expertise and are for experienced mountain navigators and orienteers.
The 2 ‘Trail Marathon’ courses, on the other hand, follow Hiking trails and require only basic knowledge of map reading. The SIMM is the Swiss daughter of the Karrimor International Mountain Marathon (today THE OMM).
