Hiking to the Cornettes de Bises - 7h45 in the morning
Sunday, August 16th, 2015
French/Swiss Moillesulaz border, Geneva
Sunday 16th of August , I am organizing a hike to the Cornette de Bises
(2 432 m). Elevation 930 m (+ 150m if crossing), distance 8-9 km (2). Listing 2-B * IGN map 3528 ET Morzine
From Geneva, we will meet at the Swiss/French border of Moillesulaz and drive 27,5 kilometers from Gaillard to the Vacheresse where we will start the hike. We will drive 55 km for the round trip.
Amazing tour of the most varied hiking, between Pays de Savoie and Switzerland. It remains one of the essential classics of Chablais and even Alpine foothills; accessible to expert hikers who do not fear the void. Best views over the Jura, Lake Geneva Alps, Valais Alps, Dents du Midi and the Mont Blanc. This itinerary describes a tour which goes by Swiss peaks and allows discovering the massive Cornettes de Bise in any sides. Ascension varied (underbrush, lush pastures, collars, mazots, lapiaz ...). Ibex enjoy staying at this place! Take enough water with you because you will run out of water very quickly (not many water places). We allowed 12 participants maximum
NB: In case of bad weather, hiking postponed on Saturday, August 15th
The departure is at 7h45 from the French-Swiss border, common
transport by cars (shared petrol costs, 11 Euro/pers).
You will need enough food and drinks, suitable clothes, plus your passport and some euros – and a rucksack to put this all in, and your hiking boots of course (no running shoes).
The hike is organised by the small hiking association Oxygene 74
http://rando-74.pagespro-orange.fr. There is a participation fee of 5 Euro
for a daily license of the French hiking federation FFRP, including
insurance.
