Le Salève is a mountain, rising to 1,400 meters and towering over the city of Geneva in Switzerland. Despite its proximity to Geneva, the Salève is located in France, in the Chablais area of the Haute-Savoie department, in the Northern Alps.

The heights of the Salève (1100 meters) can be reached by cable car whose lower station is situated 400 meters from the border (from the village of Veyrier).
