If you’re a keen walker and enjoy hiking on the Salève, then you’ve probably noticed the build up of waste, left on the mountain during last year’s hiking season.
Not only is it very unsightly, but much of it can harm animals living on the mountain as they step on pieces of broken glass, or try to eat plastic bags left lying around on the ground.
Christophe HUMBLOT, a member of the Association Sangha sur Salève, is keen to clear up the paths before the new hiking season starts in earnest. To get things moving, he’s decided, with the Association, to arrange a special half-day walk, called “For a Clean Salève”.
Taking place on Saturday 28th May, participants are invited to meet at 9am at the lower station of the Salève cable car (téléphérique), where they will be given a briefing about the morning walk. The cable car will be offered free of charge to all those taking part in the event.
Once at the top, hikers will walk along the Saleve, collecting waste as they go. Rubbish will be stored in waste bags that can be left on the side of the road, to be collected later by a separate vehicle. At noon, a minibus will collect all the participants and take them to the Town Hall of Monnetier-Mornex, where they can enjoy a light meal, and congratulate themselves on a job well done!
