    Hi, I have done this many times. It is fantastic. However keep in mind that in June there will still be snow on many trails. In actual fact last year the Assietta opened in July.

    Have fun

    Thanks a lot, but I can't access LC8.org since yesterday,
    is it currently down ?

    The only 'new' Information
    which might be important to add is :


    ________________________________________________

    Because of the big success of this first meeting
    please contact* the camping with the following information :


    - NAME
    - How many people and when
    - Motorbike or van ?
    - Information you're of the 'LC8 group'



    As the number of people may vary between 20-70 (based on facebook replies)
    it's otherwise impossible in high season to allocate the marked-off area.

    ________________________________________________



    (meanwhile we've got 20 participants and 47 'maybe'
    just on facebook, and the information is in at least 4 other forums,
    example : http://forum.lc8.info/viewtopic.php?p=349844)

    Camping Gran Bosco, Salbertrand

    Please tell them you're part of the LC8 group
    when you do the reservation,
    as they have to allocate the marked-off area.
