About the Volkssport Trail Rating System
NEW FEDERATION TRAIL RATING GUIDELINES: The
following two-part rating system was designed to indicate to
Volkssporters an estimation of the difficulty of a trail for an
IVV sanctioned walk in Canada. The sponsoring Federation member
would decide what rating to assign the trail(s). The first part
uses a number to refer to the difficulity of the incline while
the second part uses a letter to refer to the nature of the
terrain.
