Excursion 08

Sunday, 18 September 1994

Dear colleagues,

I hope that weather conditions will not drown this sunday excursion. Nevertheless we have to be prepared. Recall last weekend!. I recommend even warmer and more hermetic clothes, if possible! BOOTS are MANDATORY this time!!!! Here is my proposal for excursion 08 on Sunday, 18th of September:


Date: Sunday, 18 September 1994
Site: Mont Billiat (1894 m)
Classification: Difficult
Altitude: 1894 m
Climbing up distance: 1094+190 m
Climbing time: 4 hours
Total hiking time: 7 hours
Starting point: Les Esserts (800 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria, on Sunday at 8.30 am

Access: To reach Les Esserts we should drive to Thonon, take theroad D902 in direction to Montriond-Morzine. 16 km after Thonon we must be at the begining of the Jotty lake. 200 m after we should take a road to the right which drives to Les Esserts (2 km from the crossing).

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