Excursion 02

Sunday, 23 July 1995

Dear colleagues,

We can not blame on the success of last excursion. It was lovely and full of fun. Such a complete hiking is difficult to imagine. Although for this coming one we are in a better shape I have chosen a yet easier excursion. Here is my proposal for excursion 02 (this coming Sunday):


Date: Sunday, 23 July 1995
Site: La cabane du Petit Patre - Le Col de Niard
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 1915 - 1801 m
Climbing up distance: 614 m
Climbing time: 2h - 2h30
Total hiking time: 4h
Starting point: Parking de L'Herney (1301 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria on Sunday at 8 am
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: To reach "L'Herney" we should drive to Sallanches and once there take the road D113 to "Cordon". There continue in direction to "Les Fingeres d'en Haut. Turn right to "Les Favesses". About 300 m after we find the parking place of L'Herney. The trip from CERN to L'Herney will take about 1h20 (depending on pilot's skills)

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.com 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.

I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion! Cheers! Jose.
