At least we are going to start the outings of this session. I am sorry for this late start I was busy with other matters. My proposal for this weekend is part of the beginning-of-the-session training and, therefore, does not require any special preparation or technical skill. Here is my proposal:
| Date: | Sunday, 16 June 2002 |
| Site: | Breche sud de l'Aiguille Verte (1885) |
| Classification: | Very easy |
| Altitude: | 1885 m (breche) |
| Vertical distance to climb: | 520 m |
| Climbing time: | 1h45 |
| Total hiking time (both ways): | 3h |
| Starting point: | Chinaillon-Parking de Samance (1365m) |
| Remarks: | Aiguille Vert (2045m) - Lake of Lessy |
| Access: | Motorway direction to Chamonix. Take out in Bonneville. Take route D12 to St. Jean-de-Sixt and then D4 to le Grand-Bornand. 5 km after we arrive to Le Chinaillon.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.com 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 globes, 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!
