Description

This country walk reveals two very different faces of Salève. In the north, it forms a balcony overlooking the Geneva Basin; in the south, there are woods and alpine pastures. It's a pleasant walk as well as a cable car trip worthy of an "eco-citizen".

Take the cable car up the mountain to see the scenery on the way up. At the top, you'll find a breathtaking panoramic view of Geneva, a viewing table, a botany trail and a playground. As you climb, Mont Blanc comes gradually into view. The path back to the cable car snakes its way between alpine pastures and forests.
