Excursion 07

Saturday, 26 August 1995

Dear colleagues,

As we had agreed last week we have looked at some hicking-place where the combination climbing/thermal bath were possible. Chiara suggested a village called Lavey nearby Montreux where the bath is possible and the closing time suitable for an after-hicking take. Therefore I propose for tomorrow (exceptionally on Saturday to cope with the Hardronic festival) the following place:


Date: Saturday, 26 August 1995
Site: Rionda (2156 m)
Classification: Easy on the Suisse national map
Altitude: 2156 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 996 m
Climbing time: 3h30
Total hiking time: 6h
Starting point: Morcles (1160 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria, on Saturday at 8 am
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: To reach Morcles we should take the motorway which pass by Montreux and continue to St. Maurice where we shall come out to take a road driving us to Lavey-les-Bains. There we shall take the road to Morcles(about 7 Km). The trip to Morcles should take about 1 hour 50 minutes.

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.
