Descripción
The Signal de Bernex is the highest elevation in the middle of the valley floor framed by the Jura and Salève, where most of the agglomeration of Geneva is located. This park-like area offers an excellent view of the surrounding typical cultural landscape of fields, vineyards, and the renatured course of the Aire river. It is a popular destination for picnics and also features significant flora.
Among the bird species that can be observed here are the typical heat-loving species of vineyards and orchards that depend on (large) insects, such as Colirrojo Real, Escribano Soteño, Torcecuello Euroasiático, Ruiseñor Común, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, and Curruca Zarcera (which, however, has apparently not been sighted in recent years). The Alondra Totovía, which breeds elsewhere in the canton, has also been observed multiple times.
The site is also well-suited for bird migration observation (even if there are better places along the Rhône). Águila Pescadora, Abejaruco Europeo, Aguilucho pálido, Grulla Común, Abejero Europeo, and Escribano Hortelano have been recorded. The rarer Cernícalo Patirrojo, Bisbita Gorgirrojo, and Aguilucho Cenizohave also been noted. Highlights include sightings of a flock of Ampelis Europeo in 2005, a Papamoscas Acollarado in 2019, and a Buitre Leonado in 2021.

Accesso
The best way to reach the site is by bicycle. Public transport access is possible via the two bus stops Bernex, Saule in the north and Bernex, Lully village in the south. There is also parking near the town hall (Mairie). A small ascent (50 to 100 meters in elevation) is required to reach the Signal. A scenic hiking trail runs from the Mairie below the Signal towards Sézenove.
