Dear colleagues,

Due to the uncertain weather condition announced for this Saturday, I have lowered slightely the level of this outing and made it easy. Here is my proposal:

Site: Aiguillette des Posettes (2201 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 2201 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 762 m

Total hiking time: 4h30 (9.5 km)
Starting point: le Tour (1453 m)

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.

Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
