The Grotte d'Orjobet was already equipped in 1905 by the Geneva section of the Swiss Alpine Club thanks to a subscription with a path that was renovated in 1947. In 2005, the CAS officially handed over its administration to Syndicat Mixte de Salève.

Magnificent little cave reachable by the Salève or by a car park in Collonges sous Salève. But the climb is still a bit steep.
