Excursion 05

Sunday, 28 August 1994

Dear colleagues,

After the success of last excursion to "Le plateau des chamoises", I propose another one including again a lake such that we could get a half-way refreshment. This is my proposal for this Sunday, August 28. I hope weather continues, at least, as in the last weekend!.


Date: Sunday, 28 August 1994
Site: Lac de Tardevant (2000 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 2150 m
Climbing up distance: 870 m
Climbing time: 2h30
Total hiking time: 4h
Starting point: L'Arblay-Manigod (1130 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria, on Sunday at 8.00 am.
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: From Thones, that can be reached either from Annecy or from St Jean de Sixt, we must take the route D16 to Manigod. In Manigod we take the road to the right hand side coming down to the end of the valley. 600 meters after "La Charmette", a bridge goes across the torrent and little after, there is a second bridge. We must park our cars between this two bridges. The mountain path we have to take comes up beside the first bridge. The trip from CERN to L'Arblay may take 1h30m.

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.
