In a few words

Embark on an unforgettable cycling journey across the Isle of Beauty, linking Calvi to Ajaccio (or vice versa). This route is a true immersion in the heart of Corsica, offering an exceptional blend of sport, culture and gastronomy .

Along the winding coastal and mountain roads, you will discover breathtaking landscapes, including the unmissable UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Calanques of Piana . The contrast between the red granite cliffs and the turquoise sea creates a spectacular setting, worthy of the most beautiful postcards.

Intersperse your sporting activities with gourmet breaks to savor the richness of local products : artisanal charcuterie, Corsican cheeses, and the famous maquis honey. From hilltop villages to Genoese towers, let yourself be intoxicated by the aromas of the maquis.

For a trip accessible to all, the stay includes an electric bike or a family longtail model, as well as all the essential accessories (46L side panniers, smartphone holder, helmet, etc.), to make this adventure a simple and authentic experience in Corsica.

  • Cycling from Calvi to Ajaccio on coastal and mountain roads

The expert's opinion

A stay that allows for regular swimming breaks. If you do it by regular bicycle, you won't have to climb any very high mountain passes, which will introduce you to hills.

Security

The route follows small secondary roads where you will be really quiet in terms of traffic.

Sometimes you have to take slightly busier roads to reach these peaceful little roads, but they remain very much in the minority!


In terms of safety, we remain on small roads which are certainly very quiet, but the rules for cyclists still apply.
