Description

Day 1: Calvi (60 km; +/-900 m)

Day 2: Calvi - Belgodère - (Ile Rousse) - Calvi (90 km; +/-610 m)
Mount Cinto is the highest peak on the island (2706 m) and will be your reference point for the entire stage today, which will take place in the hinterland, between Calvi and Belgodère. Once in the village, you can visit the biocosmetics laboratory Donna è, where Christelle creates natural cosmetics from local plants, including the precious Immortelle. You will then be able to choose to return to Calvi cycling on the same route, or take a scenic road via the sea through l'Ile-Rousse, an old fishing village characterized by pretty orange islets of red porphyry contrasting with the blue water bay. At the end of the day, treat yourself to a beautiful dive and relax in the Bay of Calvi.

Day 3: Calvi - Balagne - Calvi (100 km; +/-1910m)
Today's stage will take you to discover the area of Balagne, located on the west side of Corsica.

🙋 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.
