1Border marker no. 1
In 1815, Geneva was a member of the Swiss Confederation and was surrounded by the kingdoms of Piedmont-Sardinia and France. In 1860, Savoie was annexed to France.<br/>Along the border, we can still discover the border marker no. 1 which marks the western-most point of Switzerland . Lavishly carved and dating from 1816, it faces the eagle with outspread wings of the kingdom of Sardinia, on the Genevois coat of arms. It is a milestone on the old path leading from Chancy to Vuache, highly frequented in the 17th and 18th centuries and now fallen into disuse. A bit further on, 3 wooden staircases allow the coastal path to cross the 3 successive levels of submerging into the Rhône (terraces) carved in the fluvio-glacial alluviums.
