It is one of the rare passes accessible by bike from Lyon or Villeurbanne.
The banks of the Saône are now developed, making it very pleasant to leave the city and find the greenery and calm of the Monts d'Or.
Practical when you want to avoid taking the car for a bike ride.
Even if it is not the highest peak in the area, Mont Thou with its altitude of 611m can be considered the most "difficult" climb from Lyon.
