The activity starts at the Port de Sciez (not at the Base Nautique).
The bus will be able to park just in front of the boat launch to make it easier for the bus to get off and for people to board the boats. It can then park in the secure trailer parking area, 150 metres from the port (contact the Sciez Port Authority).

2 monitors may be available. 1 in each boat.
As the people get off the bus, they will head for the gallows, and the monitors (assisted by the attendants) will transfer them to the boats.
