Col des Pitons

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

View of Le Grand Piton from Beaumont

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very difficult access by mountain bike and portage necessary. But the descent on the same path in enduro mode is worth it.
