Excursion 02

Sunday, xx xxxx 1992

Dear colleagues,

I thought that since the attendance to excursion 01 was very limited, it coud be a good idea to organize the 02 in a similar environment. This one is, even, softer than the previous one so as to allow participants in the Pedro's BBQ to take part on it. My proposal for this Sunday is the following:


Date: Sunday, xx xxxx 1992
Site: Pointe de la Couennasse - Pic du Marcelly (1999 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 1978 - 1999 m
Climbing up distance: 462 m + 69 m
Climbing time: 2h
Total hiking time: 3h
Starting point: Les Molliettes-Praz de Lys (1495 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria at 9.15 am to leave at 9.30 am
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: The starting point is nearby "Taninges" and "Les Gets".Therefore, usual road D907 from Annemasse to Taninges. In Taninges take road to "Le Gets". When reaching "Le Pont de Gets" (8 Km from Taninges) turn left to "Praz de Lys" (6 Km). Cross the ski station and park near "Les Molliettes" in a quite obvious parking space. The trip from CERN to "Praz de Lys" may take 1h30.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.net you can find information on the outings.

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.

Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
