I'm proposing this outing which, again, has the possibility of complementing it with thermal baths. In fact, in Ovronnaz there is also a small hotel with Thermal waters. However this outing will be rather lengthy and we may not have enough time as to enjoy the baths. Here is my proposal:
| Date: | Saturday, 9 September 2006 |
| Site: | Cret Moret (2600 m) |
| Classification: | Medium - Lengthy |
| Altitude: | 2600 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 959 m. |
| Climbing time: | 3.30 hours |
| Total hiking time: | 6 hours |
| Starting point: | High Ovronnaz (1368 m). |
| Meeting point: | CERN Main Cafeteria, at 8.00 am |
| Remarks: | |
| Access: | To reach Ovronnaz we should take the motorway passing by Martigny. Just after we should get out in the exit of Riddes. Drive for about 12 Km in dirction to Leytron and Ovronnaz. Once in Ovronnaz continue strait in direction to the Cantonal Sport Center to reach the Chairlift Ovronnaz-Jorasse. Park somewhere there. The trip from CERN to Ovronnaz should take about 1h50. |

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.
I hope weather conditions will allow an enjoyable excursion! Cheers! Jose.
