Once in Les Houches follow the indications to the train station and once in the station, take the road to the right following the signs to "Parc de Merlet". This road pass by a zone called Le Coupeau. There, do not follow any longer the signs but take the road which goes sharply to the left passing by La Cretaz, Le Bettey and La Flatiere. Stop and park there. The trip from CERN to La Flatiere could take 1 h 15 m.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.net you can find information on the outings.

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.
