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. |

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.
