The Salève Cable Car/Le téléphérique du Salève

30.—

112 pages, French/English

Located near Geneva, the Salève is a haven of unspoiled nature, inviting visitors to explore while serving as a refuge for biodiversity. The mountain is an ecological sanctuary and continues to sustain the local economy. It is also exemplary of the cooperation between Switzerland and France, with a cross-border cable car as the emblem of this interconnected region. Designed by architect Maurice Braillard and engineer André Rebuffel and opened in 1932, it is a modern masterpiece that opened up trade and tourism. The awarding-winning renovation project in 2024, led by Devaux & Devaux, served to preserve this heritage while showcasing the wider area’s natural beauty.
