View from Tiocan

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.

In my opinion, this is a terrible road for a road bike. I don't enjoy cycling back, but the "view" from my perspective isn't worth the ride, as most of it is trees and you only get a brief glimpse of the lake or the valley below, not to mention the Salève. The road is already very bad a few kilometers past Thoiry and only gets worse. I continued past the viewpoint, hoping to eventually reach a decent paved section. However, that didn't happen until the descent to Crozet. Of course, this isn't a problem on a gravel bike or mountain bike. I was glad I didn't get a flat tire.
