- Description
-
Between Port de Centuri and Saint-Florent, the approximately 60 km long route winds along the coast and through Corsica's mountain landscape. Exciting ascents and descents make the tour challenging. This section is the second stage of the GT 20 long-distance cycle route.
Between the lonely roads, the picturesque villages invite you to take a break. This is how you get to know Corsica from its original side. Far away from the crowds of tourists in the island's hotspots, you can recharge your batteries on this tour.
Whether by road bike, mountain bike or e-bike, everyone can explore the landscape at their own pace.
- Directions
-
The tour starts at the harbour of Port de Centuri. Leave the town in a southerly direction on the road. The D35 initially runs along the coast, after one kilometre the first ascent begins and the road continues inland. The road leads to Baragogna. Cross the town and turn right onto the D80, then keep left and follow the main road. You drive closer to the coast again towards Capu Corvoli. The road winds its way to Pino. Stay on the D80 and cross the village. You will pass other villages along the way. After around 50 kilometres, the D80 leads back inland towards Santa Maria. Leave the roundabout straight ahead and take a long bend back towards the coast to finally reach Saint-Florent.
