From June 26, 2026, families will have a new reason to get a bird’s-eye view. The Salève cable car is expanding its offerings with a brand new nature playground, free access at the summit and designed for children aged 2 to 12.

Located in an exceptional Natura 2000 protected area, this installation invites young children to explore, climb, overcome obstacles, and develop their imagination while enjoying the unique setting of Mont Salève.

The materials used prioritize natural integration into the landscape to preserve the site’s character and minimize its visual impact. This project reflects the Salève Cable Car’s commitment to developing family-friendly facilities while respecting the exceptional environment that surrounds it.

Between nature, discovery, and adventure, children can enjoy a play area directly connected to their surroundings.
