A challenging descent, following in the footsteps of the old Salève cogwheel railroad.
It's a quick start, but don't forget to admire the view. You continue in the direction of Monnetier Mornex, a former holiday resort for Geneva society and the arrival point of the cog railway. You continue into a valley carved out by the flow of the glacier. Nearby, you'll catch a glimpse of Château Monnetier or Ermitage, originally a hermitage in the 18th century. You then follow the staircase carved into the rock (hikers beware). At the end of the circuit, you pass by an erratic boulder brought down during the ice ages. All that remains is to cross the bridge over the freeway to reach the bottom station of the cable car.

3Téléphérique du Salève - cable car
Take to the skies in a cable car! A journey through nature, culture and leisure.<br/>The Salève cable car welcomes you with new areas and a new range of services. Discover the most beautiful view around Lake Geneva, an extraordinary panorama of the Geneva countryside, the city of Geneva and Lake Geneva.
Don't miss this place where sport, culture and nature come together. During your visit, take advantage of the 150m² museum area to learn all about the Salève and the cable car (free guided tour Monday to Friday at 11am), the Café 1100 for a gourmet break, and a climbing wall over 20m high (paying, by reservation).
We'll have to wait a few months to discover the playground (summer 2025).
Other activities, such as the climbing wall, paragliding area, esplanade, museo and children's activities, are available now!
