My proposal for this Sunday is the following:
| Date: | Sunday, 18 July 2004 |
| Site: | La roche parnal (1896 m) |
| Classification: | Easy - aerian pass |
| Altitude: | 1896 m |
| Climbing up distance: | 724 m |
| Climbing time: | 3h |
| Total hiking time: | 5h |
| Starting point: | Le Chesnet (1172 m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria at 9.15 am |
| Remarks: | From La Roche Parnal we face la vallee de Champ Laitier which is a natural reserve plenty of wild-goats, chamois, wild-boars, etc. If we arrive to be silent enough, perhaps we might have the chance of observing them. |
| Access: | To reach Le Chesnet, we must take the road D2 from Annemase to Le Roche-sur-Foron. We continue along the same road for about 4 Km and then turn left taking a road driving to Orange. One km after Orange we shall find the hamlet of Le Chesnet. Roche-sur-Foron can also be reached through the Geneva-Chamonix motorway. The trip from CERN to "Le Chesnet" may take 1h. |

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.
I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion! Cheers! Jose.
