Croisette Pass
Highlight • Mountain Pass
For cyclists, it is also the crossing point for the four possible climbs of Mont Salève. An untimed road bike ride, "La 4S du Salève", challenges you to climb this mountain by 1, 2, 3 or 4 different routes.

Das Wappen von Savoyen am Monte Salève
Highlight • Other
It is not! the Swiss flag but the coat of arms of Savoy (meaning no white cross, but the bars go to the edge).
It all began in the late 1960s. American students from the nearby Adventist campus in Collonges-sous-Salève climbed the steep rock face after a boozy night. Since you have a direct view of Geneva from the mountain, they were firmly convinced they were in Switzerland. They painted a huge Swiss flag on the rocks.
However, Mont Salève is geographically located in France (Haute-Savoie region). The local French found the Swiss flag on their mountain to be an affront. Local activists climbed up and painted over the Swiss cross, turning it into the Savoyard coat of arms (Cross of Savoy) to emphasize the French-Savoyard affiliation. To this day, unknown people (mostly from Geneva) regularly climb the wall at night to shorten the bars and turn the Savoyard coat of arms back into a Swiss flag.
