Gita in bici di un giorno da Corte a Cargese

Get ready for a seriously epic ride across the heart of Corsica! Starting in Corte, a university town known for its lively atmosphere and dramatic mountain scenery, you’ll embark on a challenging journey toward the coastal village of Cargèse. This route covers just over 116 kilometers, taking you through rugged interior landscapes and rewarding you with jaw-dropping views at every turn. You’ll grind through over 5,300 meters of elevation gain, often topping out above 1,500 meters, so bring your best climbing legs.

The route mixes things up with paved and unpaved bits—expect about two-thirds of the ride to be over less predictable surfaces, which keeps things interesting. Along the way, you’ll tackle a variety of trails, tracks, and both bustling and quiet roads. Watch for sudden transitions from pavement to gravel!

After hours of adventure, you’ll descend into the coastal bliss of Cargèse, famous for its dual churches and stunning Mediterranean sunsets. This ride isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s an unforgettable way to connect Corsica’s mountains to its sparkling sea. Don’t forget a camera—and maybe a post-ride pastry by the port!
