Col de la Croix Biche

Highlight • Mountain Pass

If you want to go to Mount Sion from Geneva to go to the Salève, I advise you to go through the Col de la Croix de Biche. It allows you to avoid the Annecy D1201 road, where traffic is dense and fast. Here, the road is much more peaceful.

Col des Pitons

The western face of Salève is more regular and not as steep as others. Find a comfortable gear and get yourself up the hill where you will have a great view over Geneva.
