Excursion 03

Sunday, 27 July 2014

Dear colleagues,

This excursion has many points of geological/educational entertainments. The path, although easy, has various vertiginous and narrow ways that require a continuous refraining and holding of kids. This is the proposal:


Date: Sunday, 27 July 2014
Site: Grotte d'Orjobet(1160m - Saleve)
Classification: Very easy
Altitude: 1160 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 494 m
Climbing time: 2h00 (with Alba)
Total hiking time: 4h00 (with Alba)
Starting point: Le Coin - (666m)
Meeting point: My place at 14h30
Remarks: Interesting geological accidents. Nice view over the Leman lake.
Access: From CERN taking motorway in direction of Chamonix/MontBlanc. Get out in the exit to Archamps. Turn right to Archamps village. Arriving to a turn around point take to the left towards Archamps village. Continue along the road and after passing below the motorway take to the right in direction to Collonges-sous-Saleve. After passing by the Open market loan take the first deviation to the right and continue all along for about 2 km until you arrive to a crossing point where you are forced to take either to the right or to the left. Take to the left. Some 50 m after take the first road to the right that drives you to a parking place. Park there. Driving time from my place: 40 minutes

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.
