This was a forced replacement to the projected 6 days round trip. Weather conditions were so awfull that it was wise to cancel the round trip. My proposal then, was the following one:
| Date: | Sunday, 8 July 2007 |
| Site: | Auberge de Salanfe (1942 m) |
| Classification: | P1T1 (Very easy - 7 km) |
| Altitude: | 1942 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 580 m |
| Climbing time: | 1h30 |
| Total hiking time: | 2h30 |
| Starting point: | Camping Van d'en haut (1395 m) |
| Meeting point: | Restaurant Smash at 12h00 |
| Remarks: | Rain, fug, clouds, etc. |
| Access: | Motorway to Martigny. Litle before Martigny take exit toVernayaz and Salvan. Follow indications to Salvan. Once in Salvan follow indications to Vallon de Van. Continue along the very norrow road untill reaching the end of the road in the Camping of Van d'en Haut. Park there. The trip from CERN to Van d'en Haut may take 1 h 40 m. |

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.
