Description

This is a pleasant walk through some of the quiet villages on the south-eastern slopes of the Salève and across the Plateau des Bornes. Stroll through the woods up to the summit, for panoramic views on all sides.

Level: Easy
The walk takes you through orchards at Les Molliets and a beech forest before finally revealing a magnificent panoramic view of Geneva and the Alps. Don't miss La Croisette. In the winter, it has cross-country trails, a skilift, a toboggan run etc. From here there is also a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc. In the meadows, admire the granite boulders deposited here by the glaciers of Mont Blanc.
