Hiking loop: Sentier pédestre géologique de la grotte d'Orjobet

Parking du Coin, 74160 Collonges-sous-Salève
This themed path allows you, with the aid of consoles, to discover the geology of Salève and its curiosities: The Grotte d'Orjobet, the Trou de la Tine, the arches of La Corraterie, the Grès des Rochers de Faverges and a 360° view of Geneva and Mont Blanc.
One of the most difficult trails of the Salève by its duration, its elevation and including aerial passages. It is aimed at experienced hikers. Follow in the footsteps of Horace Bénédict De Saussure, a scientist and mountaineer from Geneva who discovered the Grotto, named after his guide: François Orjobet.

The Grotto is lit by natural openings and was entirely fitted out in 1905 by the Genevoise section of the Swiss Alpine Club with steps and cables to be able to cross it easily.
