ポルトヴェッキオのおすすめライド

Beautiful route in the hinterland of Porto Vecchio. I recommend it.

Despite the road's excellent construction, there's really little traffic. This isn't surprising, given that the tourist flow is concentrated on the coast, and this road only connects small mountain villages.

Very beautiful and quiet mountain road with shady sections and two seas of rock that reach right up to the road.

Going uphill is definitely fun too. It's really quiet and traffic is very light.

From the dam, you have a magnificent view of the mountains to the north. The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited here.

The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited, even though the lake looks inviting. However, this ban doesn't stop the cows from cooling off with their feet 😁 The lakeshore is a great place to linger, and you've certainly earned a break after completing the climb from Porto Vecchio.

L'Ospedale is named after a hospital established here long ago, in 1762, to treat malaria patients from the then marshy area around Porto Vecchio. From up here, you have a magnificent view of the bay of Porto Vecchio and southern Corsica.

There's actually not much going on early in the morning or in the evening, and traffic increases significantly during peak bathing times. In any case, it's definitely worth cycling around the Palombaggia Peninsula.
