Excursion 03

Saturday, 25 July 2009

Dear colleagues,

Due to advers weather conditions we failed this outing. We will re-try it this weekend hooping for adequate weather. The trip is caracterized by rather pronounced slopes. However the magnificent paysage that can be observed worths the trial. Here is my proposal:

Site: Gramusset hut (2164 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 2164 m
Climbing up distance: 450 m
Climbing time: 2h
Total hiking time: 4h
Starting point: Le col des Annes (1720 m)
Meeting point: Val Thoiry at 11h00 am in brasserie Le Sabayon
Remarks: Beautiful view of La Pointe Percee. Great !!
Access: Motorway A40 to Chamonix. Get out in exit to Bonneville.Follow indications to "La Clusaz" or "Le Grand Bornand". Once in "Le Grand Bornand" continue along the road of "la valle du Bouchet" passing by Le Bouchet and then, les Plans. In les Plans take the small road to the left that drives to the col des Annes (7 km). This small road passes by the sites: La Cote Braudet, La liardaz, la servelanche, le tavaillon, La Duche, Chapelle de la Duche, le Fenil and Les Annes. Park there. Driving time: 1h45

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.
