The Bastian Tower alone is worth a detour; the sweeping view of Lake Geneva makes it a magical experience.

Col de Croissette. What a beautiful tour. A long climb with percentages up to 18% brings you to the plateau of the mountain. There with rolling roads and paths towards the west to enter the descent and via the North back to Geneva.

From the Bastian Tower, a few meters from the highest point of the Salève massif, the view of Geneva and Lake Geneva is magnificent.

The climb via Collonges sous Salève is the hardest. With slopes averaging 10-11%. Easier on the La Muraz side. The climbs are well shaded. Good surface. Lots of cars on weekends.
