Petit Salève, Mountain summit in Étrembières and Monnetier-Mornex, France.
The limestone mountain rises to an elevation of 899 meters, forming a prominent hogback with steep slopes near the French-Swiss border.
Archaeological discoveries from 12,000 BC revealed early human settlements on Petit Salève, including tools and animal remains within natural shelters.
The mountain holds special meaning for local communities who gather annually for outdoor activities, reinforcing connections between French and Swiss residents.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from both Étrembières and Monnetier-Mornex, offering different difficulty levels for hikers throughout the year.
The geological formation creates specific wind conditions that make Petit Salève an excellent location for paragliding activities near Geneva.
