Definitevely this year will be a sensible training of Alba and myself. I will pursue simple and easy trials. Here is my proposal:
Date: | Sunday, 8 August 2010 |
Site: | Tete du Parmelan (1831 m) - Grotte de l'Enfer |
Classification: | P2T1 - Easy but lengthy |
Altitude: | 1831 m |
Climbing up distance: | 700 m |
Climbing time: | 3h30 |
Total hiking time: | 6h30 (Length 13 km) |
Starting point: | Route to chalet Anglettaz (1155 m) |
Meeting point: | Val Thoiry at 10h00 in brasserie Le Sabayon |
Remarks: | Panoramics |
Access: | Blanch Motorway to Chamonix. Before Bonneville take exitto La Roche-Sur-Foron (A41). Take N203 which passes by Les Faverges. After some 12 km driving we reach a cross over to route D5 driving to Thorens-Glieres. Continue along this road passing by Thorens and reach the village called AVIERNOZ. In Aviernoz, just after passing by the Church take a road to the sharp left which ultimately leads to Chalet de l'Anglettaz and ends there. Park somewhere after the road becomes unmaintained some 3km before the chalet. The trip to there may take about 1h30. |

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.
