I am looking for an intermediate hike of 2-3 hours on the saleve. I have found a few websites that lay out the trails but how do I get to them by car? Does anyone have an address that I can put in a gps? Thanks.

I like to hike from Le Coin (if you just Mapquest Le Coin, France, you'll find it). It's a pretty hike up the Orjobet, but a little bit of a climb. Another alternative is to take the Telepherique up and then either hike around or hike down from there (they can give you a map on the Telepherique). Good luck!

My hike up the Saleve is pretty simple:
1) Take bus number 8 at cornavin and get down in the end of the line, at stop "veyrier douane"
2) Cross the border into France and follow the signs to "Saleve", pass the post office, a restaurant, an agriculture field, cross the bridge over the motorway.
3) Walk up for 1.5 hours and voila, I'm on the top, where paragliders take off and where you can take the telepherique back down.
