Sorry for the late notice! As we have agreed last weekend I'm proposing another excursion to another lake. It is a little bit more difficult but still within the range of easy excursions. My proposal for excursion 01 (this Sunday) is the following:
Date: | Sunday, 22-June-1997 |
Site: | Col de Bise (1915)-Lac Darbon (1813) |
Classification: | Medium easy |
Altitude: | 1944 m (highest point) |
Climbing up distance: | 699 m. |
Climbing time: | half of the total |
Total hiking time: | 6 hours |
Starting point: | La Planche (1220) - southwest of Novel village |
Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria at 9.00 am |
Remarks: | Panoramics - Leman lake |
Access: | Novel is a little village near St.Gingolph in the Swiss-French border at the other side of the Leman lake. The car access to St.Gingolph can be through Evian (1 hour 20 minutes) or taking the motor way to Montreux and taking the first way out after it ( 1 hour 10 min). From St.Gingolph take road D30 oposite to the lake and drive up for about 15 minutes to reach Novel. Continue driving up to reach the site of "La Planche". Park there in an obvious parking loan. The trip to La Planche may take 1 hour 30 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.
