1 Téléphérique 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!
