Introduction
Mont Saleve rises just across the French border south of Geneva, its crest about 1,380 metres high, and is affectionately called the city's balcony for its easy cable car and sweeping views. A ride on the lift, operating since 1932, whisks you a thousand metres upward in minutes to take in Lake Geneva, the city and the snowy Alps beyond, with the Mont Blanc region visible on clear days. The mountain is a paragliding mecca, launches happening beside the cable car station, and its Jurassic limestone cliffs and ridge paths draw hikers and climbers alike. Remember the Saleve is in France, so carry your passport.
