This phrase is part of a document that I am proofing and the translator has translated it with this: "Below 3,000m it’s all orienteering, and above is the major part!" which doesn't seem right at all to me. However I am struggling to find the correct translation for it myself. I think it is particularily the correct translation for 'en orientation' that I am struggling with. Any help much appreciated.
This phrase is part of a short text describing a triathalon style race in the mountains of Equador.

...assuming they do mean orienteering here; presumably the course is a series of waypoints rather than being marked out, except for some of the part above 3000 m.

yes, la majeure partie est au dessus de 3000m
orienteering skills are constantly called upon, below 3000m and above, which accounts for the major part
but in more zippy language ;-)
