Trying to overcome the possible road overload due to G8, my proposal for this weekend stays close to the CERN area. Weatherwise, is again doubtful! however I keep our outstanding positive confidence on France Meteo's pessimism. Here is my proposal:
| Date: | Sunday, 25 May 2003 |
| Site: | Le Colomby de Gex (1688 m) |
| Classification: | Mostly easy and lengthy |
| Altitude: | 1688 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 780 m (in various pieces) |
| Climbing time: | 3h |
| Total hiking time: | 6h |
| Starting point: | Col de la Faucille - (1320m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN cafeteria at 9 am |
| Remarks: | Views over Leman lake. Chamois. |
| Access: | CERN to Gex to Col de la Faucille. Park in the parking area close to the telecabine. Driving time from CERN: 45 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.
