A WALK ON THE SALÈVE FLANKS - PART III

Approximately 7 minutes away from my house (building block more exactly), on the other side of the Franco-Swiss border (on the French side), you'll find a cable car (see link) which goes up to the top of the Salève mountain (1375 meters high)...

They depart every 12 minutes and transport loads of tourists as well as hikers. It is a popular weekend destination for the Geneva people as once you are up there, you can dine in the little panoramic restaurant, admire the spectacular view, discover a mountain that is well-preserved, paraglide, hike, rock climb, delta fly or even visit the arboretum.
