Description

Day 1: Bastia (59 km; +1071/-794 m or 79 km; +1357/-1081 m)
Individual arrival in Bastia, hotel accommodation and meeting with a staff member. From here you will be ready to get on your bike and ride north, along the coastal road, which will give you splendid views of the cliffs and jagged coast. You will then cross the Cape Corse, to reach the western side of the island. During the descent, a magnificent view of the hills covered with Mediterranean bush and dotted with old crenellated Genoese towers will open before you. The western side of Cape also hosts some tiny fishing ports, set in sublime turquoise waters.

Day 2: Gulf of San Fiorenzo – Bastia (45 km; +798/-1091 m or 58 km; +882/-1175 m)
Your short tour of Corsica by bike continues south, in the direction of San Fiorenzo. Depending on the route you choose, you will have the opportunity to cross Patrimonio, the Corsican capital of winemaking, via the challenging Col de Teghime, or to take a magnificent little-known secondary road. Both routes offer breathtaking views of the Gulf. Once you have reached San Fiorenzo, you can enjoy a walk along the port and the charming streets of the city. We also recommend a visit to the citadel. On request, a wine tasting can be organized at one of the local wineries.

Day 3: Bastia
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.
On request, transfer to the port or airport can be arranged.

🙋 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.
