Itinerary of your trip Cycling Corsica

  • Day 1 Day 1: Arrive Bastia, Corsica
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrive Bastia, Corsica

      Bright blue and white fishing boats and sidewalk cafรฉs await you today as our tour begins near Bastia, Corsicaโ€™s historic capital and its most picturesque city. We recommend arriving a day early to soak in the charms of this centuries-old Mediterranean seaport. Weโ€™ll fit you with a bicycle this afternoon so you can ride to a viewpoint above the city, and then reconvene this evening for a traditional French gourmet dinner together. Distance 0 km / 0 mi

  • Day 2 Day 2: Bicycle To Rogliano
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Bicycle To Rogliano

      After breakfast youโ€™ll head north on an easy ride along the east side of Cap Corse, Corsicaโ€™s panhandle. Youโ€™ll want to stop for a snack or coffee in Erbalunga to see its Genoese coastal tower before cycling through the tiny port of Santa Severa. Stop for lunch and perhaps a swim in Macinaggio before heading inland to our hotel. Distance 39 km / 24 mi

  • Day 3 Day 3: Bicycle To Saint-Florent
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Bicycle To Saint-Florent

      Todayโ€™s ride is one of the most spectacular bicycle rides in the Mediterranean basin. We suggest an early start as youโ€™ll want to stop often for photographs. You can even take a swim during your lunch stop. Our route follows a chain of Genoese watchtowers, built along the coast in the late Medieval period to provide the local villagers early warning of impending attack by pirates. Weโ€™ll continue south along the west side of the Cap Corse to our hotel right on the water, located in the ancient Roman town of Saint-Florent. Distance 74 km / 46 mi

  • Day 4 Day 4: Rest Day In Saint-Florent
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Rest Day In Saint-Florent

      A stop to our first 11th-century Pisan cathedral begins our day. Pisa ruled Corsica unchallenged until 1133 A.D. when the pope divided the island between Pisa and rival Genoa. Our optional ride continues on to the most famous Pisan cathedral in Corsica as we wind our way through hilltop villages and river gorges. Distance 51 km / 32 mi

  • Day 5 Day 5: Bicycle To Lโ€™Ile Rousse
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Bicycle To Lโ€™Ile Rousse

      Youโ€™ll head across the unique Dรฉsert des Agriates today. This stony landscape that was once rich with wheat fields is unlike any area on the island and offers some beautiful panoramas. After soaking up the views youโ€™ll coast down to the beach for a refreshing swim if you wish. Our efforts today will be rewarded as we explore the coastal town of Lโ€™Ile Rousse with its charming center and beach. And if thatโ€™s not enough, weโ€™ll watch the sunset into the sea. Distance 47 km / 29 mi

  • Day 6 Day 6: Mountain Day
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Mountain Day

      Youโ€™ll head into Corsicaโ€™s interior today. This is the main "mountain day" on the tour, so take your time and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Climbing over the pass of Saint Colombano youโ€™ll enjoy a wonderful cruise down the Navaccia river valley to Ponte Leccia, named for the 17th-century Genoese bridge still in use. Youโ€™ll then have a steady long climb to be rewarded with a beautiful descent through chestnut forests as we head into one of Corsicaโ€™s most interesting regions. Distance 78 km / 49 mi

  • Day 7 Day 7: Bicycle To Alรฉria, Shuttle To Pinarello
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Bicycle To Alรฉria, Shuttle To Pinarello

      The trend today is down though there are a few hills that will certainly get your attention before you reach the coast. Our destination, Alรฉria, was one of the principal Roman trading towns and capital of Roman Corsica by 170 B.C. From Alรฉria weโ€™ll shuttle just under an hour to our luxurious beachfront hotel. Distance 71 km / 44 mi
