Hike, easy to medium difficulty: Lac Cornu 2h15 walking Picture
Sunday, July 30th, 2017 @ 09:30
Veyrier-Douane, Geneva
 
THE ACTIVITY IS now OVER FULL (4 people per car is the rate, and 5 cars is a max)
But COCO Zzetto has cancelled her participation, without saying a word, and was offering a lift for 3 people.
4 cars, we can take 16 people for sure (maybe 17 ?), but not 20 anymore.
Nicolas, Julien, Jpapo, and Rene are drivers.
So we can't take 20 people anymore. Last comers will have to renonce if no driver is RSVP anymore.
Only people who would have pushed the RSVP button in time can join. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello everyone;

It's always possible to swim into the Lac Cornu, but just a few do it, for you must stand the temperature of the water :-)
Let’s hike it, though. See the pictures :

We meet at 9h30 am on the dot at the bus stop of Douane-Veyrier (bus n°8).
- We have places for 5 to 12 peoples (depending on how many cars we get).
- Do you have a car ? Then, you can take 2 or 3 peoples more.
- For now, there are 2 cars for sure, maybe 3.
> We drive to Chamonix, about 80 km from Veyrier-douane. We share the cost of petrol (about 6 chf.- + 4 chf. highway per person) + cable 17,50 euros per person. Total amont : 27,50 euro)

Hike duration, one way : 2H15 for a slow walker (which I am)
Elevation : 600 meters.
Altitude : 2276 meters.

Get enough water, something to eat, hat, sun cream, a swimsuit (in case of) and some sticks if you like to protect your knees but the trail is very okay
Get your camera too.

After the hike, let's visite the city and have a drink in Chamonix.

We should be back at around 19h00 at Veyrier-Douane.
