A (very) rough approximation of John Steichen's escape route

The cafe at the top of the Teleferrique (cable car), looking down at Geneva.
I hiked from the center of Geneva to the base of Mont Saleve,
then cheated by taking the cable car up to the restaurant.

My second lunch, after hiking uphill from the top of the cable car for two hours.
Note that the sign to La Muraz points DOWNHILL!

I reach level ground, after 97 switchbacks hiking down from Mont Saleve.

Approaching the village of La Muraz.

My new friends at the La Muraz boulangerie.

At last!

My arrival in downtown La Chapelle Rambaud

My new friends in La Chapelle Rambaud and the house
they are building for their mother.
