Get a free drink at the top with your meal at the L'Observatoire restaurant! (See below for conditions)
Now that the Spring weather has arrived, many of us are stepping out onto the hills to explore the countryside and, if we have time, enjoy a freshly cooked meal in a local auberge.
Given the proximity of the mountains to Geneva, you really don’t have to venture that far to experience that feeling of “getting away”. For those living in the centre of Geneva, the Salève mountain with its handy cable car is literally on your doorstep. Divided into 2 parts, le petit and le grand, the Salève measures 1400m at its highest point, so there is a real sense of achievement when you get to the summit!
If you’re feeling energetic, then there are numerous pathways, which wind their way up the mountain. You can either go it alone with your own map, or enlist the help of a local guide to direct you up the mountain. If you prefer the guide option, then we suggest you try out one of the free hikes arranged every Sunday by the organization AGAS (Association Genevoise des Amis du Salève).

The newly-opened American diner, featured recently on our website, is becoming so popular that it has now extended its opening hours to cope with the huge demand from customers.
Based in Versoix, Happy Days Coffee will now open 7 days a week, 8h30-17h on weekdays and 9h30-14h at weekends. Reservations are highly recommended at the weekends as the cafe has been inundated with customers, who they have had to turn away!
New on the menu is a panwich (2 large pancakes with cheddar cheese, smoked ham, and an egg in the middle). The 180g hamburger is also prepared by a high quality butcher in Nyon and has little fat.
For further information, see our previous article on the website.
