Corsica is known as the "Isle of Beauty", and for good reason! This Mediterranean paradise has been delighting tourists from France and abroad for a very long time, and promises a cycling trip where the difficulty of the passes is matched only by the beauty of the panoramas offered from the peaks you'll have to conquer.
The mountainous roads of Corsica will be your playground, with the deep blue of the Mediterranean as a backdrop for your cycling exploits. Corsica, described as "often conquered, never subdued", offers you 15 days of challenging cycling between bare rock peaks and chiselled beaches along the coast. It's up to you to take up the Corsican challenge!
