Excursion 11

Sunday, 14 Sept 1997

Dear colleagues,

I hope that "la meteo" made a mistake and that the weather conditions will be good enough as to allow us for this excursion. Here is my proposal for this Sunday:


Date: Sunday, 14 Sept 1997
Site: Tour de la Tulle - Col des Porthets (2072 m)
Classification: Difficult ma non troppo.
Altitude: 2072 m
Climbing up distance: 872 m
Climbing time: 3h 30m
Total hiking time: 5h 30m
Starting point: Sous l'Aiguille - Manigod (1200 m)
Meeting point: CERN Main Cafeteria at 9 am
Remarks: Panoramics
Access: From Thones, that can be reached either from Annecy or from St Jean de Sixt, we must take the route D16 to Manigod. In Manigod we take the road to the right hand side coming down to the end of the valley. 600 meters after "La Charmette", a bridge goes across the torrent and little after, there is a second bridge. We must still drive along this road till a site called "Sous l'Aiguille" where the road ends. There we can park our cars. The trip to "Sous l'Aiguille" will take 1 hour 30 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.
