Tiocan Panorama

Highlight • Trail

Actually more of a hotspot for hikers to climb to the Reculet or Cret de la Neige, but the Tiocan can also be easily reached from Thoiry by road bike. You can also use the forest roads coming from Gex or Farges; for this, however, wider tires are preferable.

The Reculet is at 1717 m, the second highest peak in the entire Jura. It belongs to the Haute Chaîne, the easternmost and highest chain of the French Jura, and is located in the Pays de Gex (Ain), about 18 kilometers west-northwest of the city of Geneva. The mountain name has the meaning of secluded, remote place.
