Salève by foot for panoramic views
Free hikes every weekend on Geneva’s balcony
There’s the cable car that reaches the top in the blink of an eye and there’s the schoolchildren’s path. But every Sunday, the Association Genevoise des Amis du Salève organises a free, guided hike along another path of the iconic Savoyard summit that towers over Geneva. The group meets at 9:45 at Veyrier-Douane, the final stop for Geneva’s #8 bus. Expect 5-8 hrs of effort and 800 m of altitude change, so be sure to wear the right shoes. No need to sign up, just be there on time for departure! Experienced hikers also meet at the same spot on Saturdays for a group hike without a guide.
