Excursion 03

Sunday, 27 June 2004

Dear colleagues,

Now that we are a bit more trained and used to wide environments I propose something a bit more challenging keeping, however, the accesible and simple character of our outings. Here is the proposal:


Date: Sunday, 27 June 2004
Site: Tour des Chosalets (1920 m) - Le Chapeau (1576 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 1920 m. (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 680 m
Climbing time: 2h30
Total hiking time: 4h30
Starting point: Gare de Plagnolet-Argentiere (1240 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria at 8h30 am
Remarks: Nice view of the fall of "La Mer de Glace"
Access: Take motorway to Chamonix and once there take N506 to Argentiere. 1 km before arriving in Argentiere take deviation to Les Chosalets on the right hand side. Find the train station and park thear. The trip from CERN to les Chosalets may take 1h50.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.com you can find information on the outings.

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.
