In the heart of southern Italy, on a hilltop overlooking the Ionian Sea, Rotondella stands out for its unmistakable circular layout. A veritable ring of alleys and narrow streets that will test orienteers of all levels. Precision and quick route selection will make all the difference! 

Orienteering in Rotondella: what you need to know: 

• The circular routes and the difference in altitude, with steps and small passages, will make your race super spicy and challenging; it is common for orienteers to get nervous and not understand which lane they have ended up in: it is therefore important to have a strategy and, above all, patience.
• Train yourself to stop: take a deep breath and start again. It’s the last thing you want to do in an orienteering race, but it’s definitely the smartest thing to do. 
• Breathtaking scenery: the hill of Rotondella offers a spectacular view of the Calabrian countryside and the Ionian Sea. Be sure to watch the sunset from here!
• A tough but rewarding workout: ideal for improving technique and speed in an unusual setting.

Prepare your strategy well in advance: training map reading is key! On the @pwtparkworldtouritalia profile we regularly post route selections to keep your mind sharp and motivate you to improve. Don’t miss them! 

The surprises of the 20th edition of MOC did not end here (we said it would be a special edition). As a bonus stop on the MOC Tour, after Savelli, an unmissable location in the heart of southern Italy has been added. Can you guess which one? Just a hint: its cuisine is world-renowned for being absolutely spatial.
