Zinal, Geneva
This is an Oxygène 74 outing

Starting from Zinal, we ascend an easy snowshoe trail to an ice cave in the mouth of the Zinal glacier. Normally, it is possible to go inside (optional) with an ice axe, crampons & headlamp, but every year it's different.

• your mobile phone number.
• have you ever used snowshoes?

To bring: hiking boots, snowshoes, warm clothing, hat, picnic, water, a sweater, sunscreen, sunglasses. If you would like to enter the cave (optional): ice axe, crampons, and headlamp.
Price: €5 fee for non-members club. Plus €30 for the driver (Zinal is 360 km round-trip and 2h 20 in each direction)
Transport: private cars
Leader: Bill Larson 079 373 4686 (but not 8:30-17:00 Mon-Fri) [email protected]
In case of bad weather: If the forecast is bad, we will cancel. Also, if the avalanche danger is high we will cancel. I'll send an email the afternoon before the hike with my decision.
