Description

Day 1: Bastia
Individual arrival in Bastia and hotel accommodation. This will give you time to discover the capital of Northern Corsica. The delightful old harbor, the freely accessible citadel, and the old part of the city, offer a spectacular panoramic view of the sea and the surrounding mountains. In the evening, we recommend a walk around the old harbor to enjoy its vibrant atmosphere.

Day 2: Bastia and Capo Corso (59 km; +1071/-794 m or 79 km; +1357/-1081 m)
After meeting a staff member in Bastia, ready to jump into the saddle to cycle north along the coastal road, which will give you beautiful landscapes on the cliffs and the jagged coast. You will then cross Capo Corso, to reach the west side of the island. During the descent, a magnificent view of the hills covered with Mediterranean scrub and dotted with old crenellated Genoese towers will open up in front of you. The west side of the Cape also hosts some tiny fishing ports, set in sublime turquoise waters.

Day 3: Gulf of San Fiorenzo - Bastia (65 or 67 km)
This morning you will cycle south, towards San Fiorenzo. Depending on the itinerary you choose, you will have the opportunity to cross Patrimonio, the Corsican capital of winemaking, through the challenging Col de Teghime, or take a magnificent little-known secondary road. Both routes offer a breathtaking view of the Gulf. Once you reach San Fiorenzo, you can enjoy a walk along the harbor and the enchanting streets of the city. We also recommend a visit to the citadel. On request, it is also possible to organize a wine tasting in one of the local cellars.

Both routes offer wonderful views of the Gulf of San Fiorenzo. Once you reach San Fiorenzo, you can stroll in the charming harbor and charming streets.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
