Salève hiking (1379 m)

We’ve seen Salève a couple of times already but we never actually hiked it. Today was a good day to change it so we set off on the route with our friends Kim and Derek.
Salève is not really high but there is a galore of routes around. We chose the one through a Cave of Orjobet on the way up and Grande Gorge on the way down with a little detour to see the paorama on the Alps.

We did a pause at the Haute-Savoie sign painted on the rock and then continued to soon reach the top where we could see Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Mont Blanc hid from us this time but no worries, we’ll get to see it a lot of times in the future.

Teppes de Verbois

We felt a bit lazy today so we decided to have a walk close to the Verbois dam. We already knew the terrain because we were there in winter (see this post) but summer views differ a lot. It’s a nice walk, through a forest, down the emerald river and past the ponds, through a village of Russin and the neighbouring fields. I bet it will be beautiful in autumn – we might check that this year!
