At this early time of the hiking session, most likely a part of the paths at the highest end may be covered by snow. The use of water proof boots is highly recommeded. Here is my proposal for this weekend:
| Date: | Saturday 17 June 2006 |
| Site: | Lac des Chambres (2090 m) |
| Classification: | Medium-easy and lengthy |
| Altitude: | 2090 m |
| Climbing up distance: | 1093 m |
| Climbing time: | 4h |
| Total hiking time: | 7h |
| Starting point: | First parking place before Les Allamands (1000 m) |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main cafeteria at 8h30 am |
| Remarks: | Beautiful high mountain lake. |
| Access: | Motorway of Mont Blanch. Get out in Cluses. Take road D902 to Taninges. In Taninges take D907 to Samoens. Cross over Samoens in direction to "col de Joux Plane". Once in the highest part of Samoens in the site of "Les Moulins" do not follow D354 to "Joux Plane" but take small road to the right in a pronounced turn to the left hand side that will drive us to Les Allamands. You have to pass just after Samoens by the site of "Le Chevreret" and then by Les Fontaines. 3 km after les Fontaines we should arrive in the site of "Les Allamands". Stop in a parking some 400 m before "Les Allamands" and 2.5 km after the site of "Pied du Cret". Park there. The trip from CERN to Les Allamands may take 1h30. |

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.
