Luane from the Maison du Salève offers the tour “The fabulous history of the cable car”

This tour offers an immersive experience into the history of the Salève cable car, a true emblem of 1930s innovation. Through a fun and interactive approach, visitors discover the technology and architectural feat that made its creation possible. From the initial idea of connecting the mountain to the city, to the engineering challenges met by Maurice Braillard and André Rebuffel, this tour combines observations, historical anecdotes, games, and riddles for an enriching shared experience.
