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.

Hiking

From tíocan in Thoiry at the junction you can go up from the left which is steeper or the right (not that steep). I rather go up from the left and back the other way with nicer views.
