Étrembières walks
Le Petit Salève
A circular trail, ideal for discovering the different facets of the Petit Salève. As this part of the Salève is quite busy, set off early in the morning or avoid weekends.
Tour of the canton by bike from Chêne-Bourg
A short bike ride in the Geneva countryside. Ideal for families.
It starts gently on a section of the greenway, which you then leave before returning to it briefly before the finish.
The ride passes through Chêne-Bourg, then heads into Champel, Bout du Monde and Veyrier, before completing a beautiful circular loop through the countryside. The ride then continues to Thonex, Puplinge, Choulex and Vandoeuvres. Be patient at the end, as the roads are narrow and you may encounter motorists travelling in the opposite direction on one-way streets.
On the Salève Plateau
This is a pleasant hike, with beautiful views of the Mont Blanc range in the first part.
From the cable car station, the Geneva basin spreads out below you.
The Salève via the Orjobet trail
The Salève in Haute Savoie is a bit like the mountain of the people of Geneva. The Grotte d'Orjobet still bears the stamp of the CAS (Swiss Alpine Club). From Le Coin, a steady climb takes you to the cave, which you can then cross. After a final climb, you come out onto the plateau, which is also an alpine pasture. The view is simply magnificent.
The Salève circular: Orjobet, Corraterie, viewpoints and Grande Gorge
A circular trail that showcases the many facets of Salève: climb up via the Orjobet Cave, pass through the Trou de la Tine, Vire de la Corraterie, viewpoint towards Mont Blanc and Rochers de Faverges, viewpoints from the Observatory over Geneva and Lake Geneva, descent via the Grande Gorge and return to the start by passing under the large rock climbing routes.
Panoramic views of the Salève
The title of this hike sums up the route, and once you reach the heights of Salève, you can enjoy numerous views of the Genevois, Lake Geneva and the Mont Blanc massif.
Please note that there are a few tricky sections between the Orjobet Cave (2) and La Corraterie (4).
Geneva city centre
A tour of Geneva city centre that takes in the main tourist attractions of the old town, including the port and all its hustle and bustle.
From La Croisette to Grand Piton
A pleasant walk starting from La Croisette, with a loop route at the top of Salève, on a short section of the "Balcon du Léman". The Salève des Pitons (or Pitons) is not the most spectacular part of Mont Salève, but it nevertheless offers exceptional views (the Franco-Genevan basin, the Jura mountain range, the Geneva harbour/Petit-lac, the Vaud and Valais Alps, the Arve Valley, the Chablais, the Mont Blanc range, the Bornes, the Aravis, etc.).
In the woods of Jussy
A short walk along the French-Swiss border, mainly through forest, perfect for getting back into shape after a period of inactivity.
Balcon du Léman via the Signal des Voirons
A walk along the ridge and through the woods (in the cool), without tarmac, with beautiful views of Geneva and Lake Geneva to the west, and the Alps and the Mont Blanc range to the east.
This loop has the advantage of being shortened (or extended) as you wish, as it intersects with many other trails.
Meulières à Vachat
A pleasant, easy walk on Mont de Vouan. You will come across a marsh and an old millstone quarry, a curiosity that is well worth a detour, all in the middle of a pleasant mid-mountain forest.
From Versoix to Bonmont Golf Club
Horse riding excursion departing from Versoix and arriving at Bonmont Golf Club.
La Croix des Bornes
Easy hike on the rural plateau of Les Bornes, with open views of the Salève, Aravis and Chablais mountains.
Directional signs and a few markers.
Going up the Versoix river to Sauverny
Much of the walk takes place in the coolness of the forest and the Versoix river, ideal for hot summer days. When you leave the woods, in good weather, there are magnificent views of the Jura mountain range (the Aiguille de la Faucille and the Boule Blanc de la Dole are easily recognisable) and the Alps (Mont Blanc).
Tour of the Bois de Merdisel via the stream-d'Avril
An easy circular walk.
Le Saleve - Pomier - Le Bois des Fées

A pleasant little walk starting from the Maison du Salève car park, above Pomier, with a section on the Petites Croix trail, to Les Convers. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash.
La Pierre à Martin and the Crépy vineyard
From the old fortified house of Chilly, the route starts in the middle of the vineyards and then climbs through woods to reach a plateau offering extensive views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding peaks. After passing Notre-Dame des Vignes, you can see a geological curiosity, the Pierre à Martin. After a stretch through the forest, you descend, enjoying beautiful views. The hike ends through the vineyard.
Tour of the Le Pesse woods
Short, easy walk with some interesting views.
Versoix woods and Bonmont Golf Course
Walk in the woods of Versoix.
