My proposal for this weekend is a very lengthy trip and although it does not need of any special technical skill, it is recommended for hikers in good physical shape. In addittion, we are slowly increasing the altitude to achieve. Here is my proposal:
| Date: | Sunday, 2 September 2001 |
| Site: | Tour de Fenestral(2451m) |
| Classification: | Medium |
| Altitude: | 2580 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 1200m |
| Climbing time: | 4 hours |
| Total hiking time: | 7 to 8 hours |
| Starting point: | La Lechere-Finhaut(1440m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Cafeteria (Main building) at 8 am |
| Remarks: | |
| Access: | Motorway to Chamonix. There take N506 to Vallorcine passingby l'Argentiere and reaching the Swiss border in Le Chatelard. Continue by the Swiss road N 115 and after about 1 km take a road to the left hand side driving to Finhaut/Barrage d'Emosson. Pass over Finhaut and drive up towards the lake of Emosson till arriving to the site called La Lechere. Park there. Driving time: 1.50 from CERN.

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.
