Saleve Adventist University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Campus Adventiste du Salève, or Saleve Adventist University in English, belongs to the global educational system of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and is affiliated with Partnership of Adventist Colleges in Europe (PACE). The College is located about five miles from Geneva across the Swiss-French border. The Campus itself is part way up Le Salève, the top of which is about 4,000 feet high. This mountain with its restaurants and breath-taking view of the Rhône valley or Mont Blanc attracts many from nearby Geneva. From the campus, the city of Geneva and the Léman make a picturesque view.
Collonges-sous-Salève, the village where the campus is located, is situated in the French département of Haute-Savoie, named "Upper Savoy" for its location in the foothills of the Alps mountain range.
