Excursion 04

Saturday, 14 August 2010

Dear colleagues,

The outing number "4" of this session is a sensible proposal to continue initiating Alba to hiking. It is intended to settle Alba's hiking skills ballancing hardness and avoiding stressfull continuity. It will also measure my capacity to overcome deficiences. I have chosen a simple and relatively short one. Here is the description:


Date: Saturday, 14 August 2010
Site: La Vigoureuse (1340 m)
Classification: Very easy
Altitude: 1340 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 190 m
Climbing time: 1h30
Total hiking time: 3h (6.8 Km in total)
Starting point: Lac de Lamoura (1150m)
Meeting point: My place at 10h30 pm
Remarks: Panoramics over La Faucille, Montrond, Colomby, ...
Access: From St.Genis, drive to Col de la Faucille and continue driving along N5 for some 2 km to reach deviation to Mijoux. Once in Mijoux (8 km from La Faucille) follow indications to Lajoux (5 km from Mijoux). Once in Lajoux follow D436 and then D292 to Lamoura or Lake of Lamoura. After 3.5 km from Lajoux we arrive to the lake of Lamoura. Park there. Driving time from St. Genis: between 1h and 1h20 (driver and trafic dependent).

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.
