Dear colleagues,

Date: Saturday, 19 July 2008
Site: Pnte. de Cupoire (1882m)
Classification: Very easy
Altitude: 1880 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 620 m
Climbing time: 2h30
Total hiking time: 5h
Starting point: Les Feux - Les Carroz (1260m)
Meeting point: Val Thoiry at 10h00 am in brasserie Le Sabayon
Remarks: Panoramic
Access: From ValThoiry take the road passing by CERN untill reaching the conexion to the motorway to Lausanne. Take the motorway in direction France and continue all along to connect with the motorway driving to Chamonix. After passing by Cluses take the exit following the indications to Les Carroz which passes by Araches (D106). Once in les Carroz, drive for some 2.5 km and park somewhere, after passing by the site called Les Feux. Driving time from ValThoiry: 1h10.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.net or 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.
