Atout-France
The route starts on the road of the highest pass in Corsica and impresses with the view of the surprisingly high mountains of the French island. From there, the section of the Grande Traversée 20 crosses the inland, shady valleys, refreshing watercourses, and charming villages. Thanks to its starting point at 1413 m altitude, this circuit has few climbs, as Corte is just above sea level.
Far from the crowds of tourists, road cyclists, mountain bike enthusiasts, and e-bike users will find an exciting circuit in the Mediterranean mountainous landscape of Corsica.
At Calacuccia, the wild Golo river stands out, attracting water sports lovers year-round with its fast meanders. The bodies of water flowing through the gorges and waterfalls throughout the Corsican mountains accompany you during the route and offer a fascinating natural spectacle.
