Tips

🇦🇹Sigi Rieger🚵 SRAM GTT Testrider

Road cycling

For me driving and landscaping has always been an absolute highlight and an integral part of every visit to Corsica. The 11 km long very moderate climb to the 408m high pass, starts at the entrance of the Fango valley, the road snakes like a snake through the red rocks and the scrub is surpassed only by the panoramic view of the pass itself. The Gulf of Girolata is a nature reserve and can not be reached by land.

The view of the Gulf of Girolata at the top of the pass remains one of my favorite moments during each of my cycling tours in Corsica
