View from the descending car towards the base station
The Téléphérique du Salève is a passenger cable car providing access to the top of the Salève in Haute-Savoie, France, overlooking the city of Geneva, Switzerland. The cable car is operated by a joint venture between RATP (through its subsidiary RATP Dev), Transports Publics Genevois, and COMAG (a subsidiary of lift manufacturer Poma).[1]
The cable car was inaugurated in 1932, replacing a now-disused rack railway[2] (for which one of the tunnels can still be seen walking up). It was shut down in 2021 (delayed from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) for refurbishment, and is scheduled to re-open in 2023.[3][4] The projected cost is 12 million euros.[5]

The base station in Étrembières is at an altitude of 432m, while the top station at 1097m. The cable car climbs very steeply due to the near-vertical face of the ridge, with an ascension of 665m in an overall length of 1172m.[citation needed]
