The ride through the Scala di Santa Regina gorge is an absolute must when cycling in Corsica. The winding but not steep road leads between towering rock walls, partly carved into the rock and partly built onto it using high retaining walls, along the Golo River. Once you have driven through the gorge, the valley at Calacuccia opens up and you drive along the foot of the Monte Cinto massif, whose summit region, which is still snow-covered in spring, provides a great panorama for the further journey towards Col de Vergio.

Legend has it that the Virgin Mary struck the deep valley as an escape route into the mountain to help Saint Martin fight the devil. Geologically more likely, however, that the valley was milled by the river Golo in the granite, which is dammed up the valley in the Lac de Calacuccia to generate electricity.

As already described: A sensational experience even for those who pass the east / west of the Alps on this road through the rocks. 3-5% incline. Good asphalt. A dream to drive up here - then you can observe / enjoy the natural wonder better than downhill.
