Every Sunday, we meet up at 10 am at the bus shelter of TPG bus 8 in Veyrier-Douane (we wait for the bus 8 leaving Gare Cornavin at 9:38 am). No need to sign up, just come.

Depending on the number of volunteer guides present, several itineraries may be proposed. Expect 2-4 hours of ascent at a steady pace (850 meters of altitude gain at varying distances from the starting point), plus almost 2 hours of descent, or you can get down by cable car.

A good physical condition is essential. You will need proper hiking shoes, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, a wind-/rainproof jacket, and hiking poles (optional). Take some money, and your passport as the Saleve is in France. Bring a picnic and enough water; there is no drinking water along the hiking paths.

This Sunday is the "Fête de la Thuile", a minor country festival with food stalls, some tourist info and music at a converted old farm building on the southern part of the Saleve. We may offer a separate meet-up point to go there. See our website (below) under "Additional hikes" for arrangements.
