Here is my proposal for excursion 03 on this coming sunday 17th of July:
| Date: | Sunday, 17 July 1994 |
| Site: | Le Mont Chauffe (2095 m) |
| Classification: | Difficult |
| Altitude: | 2095 m |
| Climbing up distance: | 929 m |
| Climbing time: | 3.30 hours |
| Total hiking time: | 5 hours |
| Starting point: | Le Mont (1166 m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria, on Sunday at 8.00 am |
| Remarks: | Panoramics. One of the few places where you can see theEdelweiss flower. |
| Access: | To reach Le Mont, we should drive to Thonon, take the road D902 in the direction to Montriond-Morzine and 11 km after Thonon turn left to take road D22 to L'Abondance. There take the small road behind the abbey which will drive to Le Mont. Alternatively, take motorway to Montreux. Continue till Bex (before St.Maurice) and drive out of the motorway. Take the road to Monthey and then to the French border (Chatel). L'Abondance is only 11 km far from there and 32 km far from the motorway. The trip from CERN to Le Mont may take 1h40. |

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.
