The Salève, a mountain of exploration!
Known for its cliffs and the marvellous panorama which is revealed from its summit, the Salève is also a place of leisure and exploration. To benefit fully, the ideal is to organise a tour with, for example, a visit to the Maison du Salève, a cable car ride, a meal and some leisure activities..
