Excursion 01

Sunday, 16 July 1995

Dear colleagues,

This session as in almost every session at its beginning, most of us will start hiking with a similar awful and bad physical shape. After consultation with some assiduous and other not so assiduous hikers I've chosen an easy excursion for this coming Sunday. My proposal for excursion 01 (this Sunday) is the following:


Date: Sunday, 16 July 1995
Site: Le Col des Nantets (1426 m)
Classification: Very easy
Altitude: 1426 m
Climbing up distance: 586 m
Climbing time: 2h
Total hiking time: 4h
Starting point: La Sauffaz (840 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria at 8 am
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: To reach "La Sauffaz" we should drive to Annecy and once there take the road D909 to Talloires. Before arriving in Talloires we should turn left to take road D42 to "Le col de la Forclaz". We drive about 4.5 km along this road to find the village of Verel. A small road to the left hand side will drive us to La Souffaz (2 km). The trip from CERN to La Sauffaz may take 1h30.

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.

I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion! Cheers! Jose.
