Here is my proposal for this coming weekend:
| Date: | Sunday, 19 August 2001 |
| Site: | Les Trois Aiguilles (2277m) |
| Classification: | Easy but lengthy |
| Altitude: | 2277m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 1077m |
| Climbing time: | 3.30 hours |
| Total hiking time: | 5.30 hours |
| Starting point: | Sous l'Aiguille-Manigod (1200m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Cafeteria (Main building) at 8.30 am |
| Remarks: | Beautiful views over the Mont Blanc |
| Access: | From Thones, that can be reached either from Annecy orfrom 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. Driving time: 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.
