Col des Pitons

 Col des Pitons   

Mont Saleve is a 18km long, mostly forested ridge south of Geneva. On a clear day the ridge is a perfect far vantage point onto Geneva as well as the western alps. This mountain has two named paved passes and one named summit. Col de Pitons is the highest of the three by a few meters. Of the three it is also the quietest spot, with the best views onto the western alps from its upper southern approach.
