Gita in bici di un giorno da Saint-Florent a Isola Rossa

This route starts in the charming port town of Saint-Florent, sometimes called the "Saint-Tropez of Corsica," and winds its way west to the laid-back seaside haven of L'Île-Rousse. Over a journey of about 61 km, you’ll climb and descend more than 2,100 meters—so get ready for some heart-pumping hills! Expect a mix of surfaces: most of your ride is on paved or asphalt roads, but you’ll also hit stretches of gravel and tracks, so wider tires may come in handy.

The scenery is classic Corsica: olive groves, dramatic mountain views, and sparkling glimpses of the Mediterranean. Traffic levels vary, with nearly half the route on busier roads, but you’ll get enough quieter sections to really soak in the island vibe. At the finish, reward yourself with a gelato or a swim at the pristine beach in L'Île-Rousse, known for its red granite rocks that glow at sunset. Don't forget your camera—this is a truly picturesque ride!
