** Pre Christmas Hike – Les Avants!! **
Sunday, December 21st, 2014 @ 12:00
Les Avants not, Lausanne
So we’ve all got Christmas shopping still to do
We all have a tree to put up and a Reindeer to stuff
And presents to wrap
And cards to write
But we STILL need a bit of fresh air and a Sunday Hike!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BASIC INFO:
Total Hiking Time: 3-4 Hours including a picnic lunch
Elevation: Start at 1283m – finish at 1283m but there’s about 500m up and down in between so come prepared for ANYTHING!!
Kilometres: approx 7 ½ kms
Difficulty: This is officially a “Sentier des racquettes” but as there’s no snow, it might be easier than it looks – but I DO walk fast!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROUTE DETAIL:
A circular hike – start at the restaurant – finish at the restaurant – hoping it will be open for a welcome coffee and a finish-hike-beer!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE ONE AND ONLY MEETING POINT:
12h00 – High Noon – Les Avants
http://www.lacergniaulaz.ch/fr/
Meet at Auberge de la Cergniaulaz – just above Les Avants. If you want to take public transport, you can catch the train to Les Avants, take the finiculaire to Sonloup and walk from there – otherwise meet in the restaurant car park and note below if you can offer a ride or need a ride.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BRING:
If there's a Shedload of snow between now and Sunday - bring your racquettes - unlikely, so good Goretex boots should work
Picnic Lunch
Smile
Silly hat or Reindeer Ears (yes, really…..)
Sunglasses (let’s be positive!!)
Something to sit on at lunchtime
Something to share (festive goodies/chocolate/hot tea/biscuits – you decide!)
Thanks to John R who suggested this – thanks John!
