#NightLine

#VceShuttle
---+++ Transportation from/to VCE

Dedicated shuttle transfers have been planned to help participants reach Sesto from Venice International Airport (VCE) in the dates 13th/14th and back to VCE on 19th/20th. The information gathered through the participants registration led to the following *[[InterOpJune2015Buses][shuttle buses composition]]*. Please check them and report issues directly to the LOC.

Please consider (especially in planning your return) that the *Sesto-VCE trip takes about 3 hours*.

#WeatherTours
---+++ Weather

June is usually a pleasant month of the year in Sesto, temperatures ranging from 7 °C in the morning/evening to 20 °C during the day (45 to 68 °F). However one must remember that the height over sea level is 1300 m (4300 ft), and if one just wishes to take a cableway to have a better view of the area the height over sea level goes immediately above 2000 m (6500 ft). The week of the workshop, the weather is expected to be pretty variable. You are therefore suggested to bring, together with lighter clothing, also a warm sweater and a waterproof jacket, plus hiking boots if you wish to hike.
---+++ Tours

A tour can be organised on Friday afternoon. A spectacular one would reach the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps, which is pretty near Sesto: one can just stop at the mountain lodge and enjoy the scenery, or take a 3-hours walk around the group.

Comfortable walks or more serious hikes can be performed in the surroundings. Info is available and will be included in the conference material.

Please let the secretariat know if you are interested.
