Téléphérique du Salève, Cable car in Monnetier-Mornex, France
The Téléphérique du Salève extends 1172 meters upward, transporting passengers from Monnetier-Mornex to the summit while offering views of the surrounding landscape.
Maurice Delessert, administrator of the Salève rack railway, conceived the first cable system, which opened on August 27, 1932, after replacing the previous train connection.
The cable car station features a permanent exhibition displaying historical photographs that document the evolution of transportation and regional development through different periods.
The cable car operates from April to November with daily service from 9:00 AM until 6:30 PM, and during winter from December through March with modified schedules.
Through Franco-Swiss political cooperation, the abandoned cable car received restoration in 1984 and now serves nearly 300,000 passengers annually under GLCT management.
