Description

This 7-day cycling tour across Corsica links Cap Corse, the central mountains, the east coast, the Alta Rocca and the west coast into one demanding island loop from Bastia. The route follows narrow coastal roads, long mountain passes, rock bays, hill villages, forests, gorges and some of Corsica’s best road sections: Col de Bigorno, the Restonica valley, Col de Sorba, Col de Bavella, Piana, Porto, Evisa and Col de Vergio. This is not a flat Mediterranean ride. It is a route for cyclists who want Corsica with real elevation, proper stage changes and strong shifts in landscape.
