May 17, 2025,Bellevue — Mont Salève

This route to Salève doesn't follow the traditional route uphill; instead, you take the Annecy road and tackle the mountain from its base. There are still some peaks of 19% 🥵, but overall it's manageable, and the descent, via the traditional route, is pleasant, although you have to watch out for the potholes that aren't very visible in the undergrowth.
