Dear friends,
Here is my proposal for this Sunday:
| Date: | Sunday, 28 Jun 1998 |
| Site: | Lac du Charvin" (2011 m) |
| Classification: | Easy |
| Altitude: | 2100 m. (highest point) |
| Vertical distance to climb: | 900 m. |
| Climbing time: | 3 hours |
| Total hiking time (both ways): | 5 hours 30 minutes |
| Starting point: | Sous l'Aiguille (Manigod) - (1200 m) |
| Remarks: | |
| Access: | From Thones, that can be reached either from Annecy or from St Jean de Sixt, we must take the route D16 to Manigod. In Manigod we take the road to the right hand side coming down to the end of the valley. 600 meters after "La Charmette", a bridge goes across the torrent and little after, there is a second bridge. We must still drive along this road till a site called "Sous l'Aiguille" where the road ends. There we can park our cars. The trip to "Sous l'Aiguille" will take 1 hour 30 minutes. |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria, on Sunday at 9.00 am |

In the web address "http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/~salicio" you can find the map for this trip.
It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption.
I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion!
Cheers! Jose.
