    A family hike to discover the northern part of the Salève. With no difficulty, you'll discover magnificent panoramic views over Lake Geneva.
    The Balcons du Téléphérique walk is ideal for a family outing.

    With no difficulty and very little difference in altitude, this walk takes in the Salève mountain and its many viewpoints over Geneva and its jet d'eau, with the Jura in the background.

    Located in an area of flora and fauna interest (ZNIEFF), you'll have the chance to discover some of the species that call this mountain home.

    The aerial tramway is also an exceptional structure. Inaugurated for the first time on August 5, 1932, it enables you to climb the mountain in 8 minutes instead of 2 hours with the cog railway.

    Unfortunately, the Second World War and the advent of the "all-car" system led to its closure in 1975. It was not until 9 years later that it resumed operation, and was improved from year to year until the current works.
