We took the cable car (telepherique) to the top of the nearest mountains overlooking Geneva. The cliff face was pretty shear and it was being quarried for stone as well. The actual cable car and mountain were in French territory, so we took our passports with us. We were not stopped as we walked across the border however. The French town that is there is basically indistinguishable from the Geneva suburbs.
Looking up the mountain and at the quarry.
Half way up with the other cable car coming down toward us.
panoramic view of Geneva. We were worried that with the rain we wouldn't be able to see anything, but the view was great.
I decided to hike down with two other members of the group instead of taking the cable car back. It was a great hiking trail, although pretty steep. We crossed the road several times and this is how steep it was!
There were lots of wild flowers.
The woods were beautiful
