My proposal for this weekend is a nice walk on the Jura. Due to the uncertain wheather forecast I have chosen this easy walk with no particular danger in case it rains. It is, however, a lengthy walk: around 25 km. Here is my proposal:
| Date: | Sunday, 21 July 2002 |
| Site: | Cret de la Neige (1718) |
| Classification: | Easy |
| Altitude: | 1718 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 828 m |
| Climbing time: | 3h |
| Total hiking time: | 5h30 |
| Starting point: | Lelex (890 m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Cafeteria (Main building) at 9 am |
| Remarks: | View over the Leman lake |
| Access: | N5 to Col de la Faucille. 3 km after Col de la Faucilletake first route to the left (D936) to Mijoux. Once in Mijoux take D991 to Lelex. Park in the parking of the Telecabine. 300 m after this parking starts the GR9 to the left hand side. Driving time from CERN: 1h

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.
