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.

This is a chalet in the jura, with bbq and great views over the Geneva lake. You can see the jet d'eau from here.
The croix du reculet is 1 hour away.
There is a little annex with a rudimentary WC.
