Excursion 05

Sunday, 10 August 2014

Dear colleagues,

I'm proposing this outing which, has the possibility of complementing it with thermal baths. In fact, in Ovronnaz there is a hotel right in the Thermal baths. Here is my proposal:


Date: Sunday, 10 August 2014
Site: Tour de Tsantonnaire(2465 m)
Classification: Easy
Altitude: 2480 m (highest point)
Climbing up distance: 550 m.
Climbing time: 3h
Total hiking time: 5h
Starting point: Chairlift of Jorasses (1368 m).
Meeting point: Thermalp station at 9h00
Remarks: Beautiful views. Petit et Grand Muverand.
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 direction to Leytron and Ovronnaz. Once in Ovronnaz continue strait in direction to the Thermal baths. Later, from the Thermal baths we will drive to the Chairlift of Jorasses and park in the parking of the chairlift. The trip from CERN to Ovronnaz should take about 1h50.

In the URL http://excursiones.salicio.net 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 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.
