Excursion 16

Sunday, 18 October 1998

Dear friends,

After a long break and profiting of the hopefully good weather it may be a good idea to re-start our hiking trips until exhausting the few weekends before winter.

Here is my proposal for this Sunday:


Date: Sunday, 18 October 1998
Site: Montenvers (2200 m)
Classification: Medium
Altitude: 2200 m. (highest point)
Vertical distance to climb: 1154 m.
Climbing time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Total hiking time (both ways): 7 hours
Starting point: Le Biollay (1046 m)
Remarks:
Access: Motorway to Chamonix. There, before crossing the railway turn right to Le Biollay (near the cementry). Park there. The trip may take about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria, on Sunday at 8.30 am

In the web address "http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/~salicio" you can find the map for this trip.

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

I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion!

Cheers!

Jose.
