After our succesful visit to the "Lac de Roselette" last week and due to the beautiful and full of historical events environment, it was decided to stay in the same region. Therefore I have chosen another lake not quite far from Roselette. Here is my proposal for excursion 04 (this Sunday):
| Date: | Sunday, 13 July 1997 |
| Site: | Lacs Jovet (2174 m) |
| Classification: | Quite easy |
| Altitude: | 2200 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 964 m |
| Climbing time: | 3 hours 30 minutes |
| Total hiking time: | 5 hours 30 minutes |
| Starting point: | Chapelle de N.D. de la Gorge (1210 m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria at 8h30 am |
| Remarks: | Panoramics |
| Access: | Take the motorway in direction to Chamonix and come out of it at the high of "Le Fayet". There take road D902 to St. Gervais-les-Bains and continue by the same road till "Les Contamines-Montjoie". Take the road that drives to "La chapelle de N.D. de la Gorge". Park somewhere there. The trip to N.D. de la Gorge may take 1 hour 15 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.
I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion! Cheers! Jose.
