As night falls, light your torch and set off along the trails of the Salève! Over the course of a 1 to 1½-hour walk, you will make your way through woodlands, paths, and open spaces, guided by the light of real flames.

A walk by torchlight

With an elevation gain of just 100 meters, this short hike is designed to be accessible and sociable. It is led by a state-certified mountain guide who can adjust the route and pace to suit the conditions and the group.

Nature and astronomy under the stars

The walk is also an opportunity to discover your surroundings after dark. Along the way, your guide will share their knowledge of the Salève’s flora and fauna, as well as the night sky. Depending on conditions and visibility, look up to observe the Moon, stars, and constellations, and gain a better understanding of what lies above us. It is a unique way to experience the mountain—a blend of observation, storytelling, and a connection with nature.

A local aperitif in the great outdoors

After the walk, it’s time for a tasty treat! Halfway through, the group will pause in the open air to share an aperitif featuring local products: cheese, cured sausage, apple juice, and mulled wine. It is a convivial moment to warm up and enjoy the mountain's tranquility before picking up the torches again for the return journey under the moon and stars.
