Tripdescription
This is a great hike to the top of the Salève 1.379m with its magnificent views over Geneva and the French Alps.
From the top we will walk slightly downwards until we reach our final hiking path away from the main tourist locations. We will hike up and down, partly along the ridge of the Salève.
In the end, we will have a traditional swiss picnic with original swiss sausage (cervelat), swiss cheese, bread or baguette and a glass of wine.
