Today I’m riding the Mont Saleve cycling challenge climbing all four sides of the mountain in one day. Mont Saleve is found minutes from Geneva and Annemasse in the French Alps and offers surprisingly quiet roads minutes from the suburbs.

This is a ride I should have done much sooner. The four sides of Le Saleve have been on my to do list for many years as I drive past it most days. Its a super challenging day out on the edge of both Geneva and Annemasse. Cafe’s and water at the summit, quiet roads, and good road surfaces.

If you like cycling in the French Alps then you are in the right place. Road cycling the mountains of the French Alps is my passion. I am based in Haute-Savoie, home of the 2027 UCI ‘Mega’ World Championships which will see 19 UCI Gold medals up for grabs from handisport, mountain biking, track riding and the road racing events and time trials.
Cycling in the French Alps is brought to you from my base at the foot of Mont Blanc close to Chamonix, France. I aim to bring you some stunning scenery, tips and knowledge and share my passion to inspire you to visit the French Alps.
I’m Mike and with my Wife Jude (Judith ) we moved to the Alps in 2007. Now in mid 50’s. Weekly uploads in the cycling season and all content is filmed and edited by me. We like GCN but we’d like you to subscribe to us too please! I will aim to be informative and add some British humour as I ride around the Alps.

Not sure why I haven't done this ride before. Quiet roads, stunning scenery and a challenging day out! Drop any questions below. Cheers Mike 🚴🚴
I must do that cable car, I see it so often when travelling to and from Geneva, stunning views ! Thanks for sharing Mike, looked tough!
Looks a great route!
I did a good portion of this ride in July when I first came into Geneva in advance of riding a few Tour stages. Previewed your Passy and Joux Plane videos before doing those (thank you), but Saleve ended up being my favorite day of riding.
