Corsica is known as the “Island of Beauty,” and for good reason! This Mediterranean paradise has been delighting tourists from France and around the world for a very long time, and promises a cycling trip where the challenge of the mountain passes is matched only by the beauty of the panoramic views from the peaks you’ll conquer.
The mountain roads of Corsica will be your playground, with the deep blue Mediterranean serving as the backdrop for your cycling adventures. This island, often described as “often conquered, never subdued,” awaits you for 15 days of cycling challenges amid bare rocky peaks and beaches carved like lace along the coast. It’s up to you to take on the challenge of Corsica!
