Very well off the main road!

The charming little village of Occiglioni is worth a detour for many reasons. Its stone streets, typical of the Corsican maquis, give it a certain charm, and the shaded cafés are ideal for a refreshing break. Don't forget to enjoy the views from the village terraces.

The pass itself has a provisional pass sign at the junction to a fenced antenna system, but the D 151 towards Montegrosso as a mountain road climbs by about 15 meters in altitude over the next undulating 800 meters.

For those who are planning a detour to the Forêt Domaniale de Bonifatu or who are thinking of driving past Calvi and heading southwest over the Col de Marsolino, it even represents a shortcut via a beautiful hillside road. Which brings us to the most important point: the most beautiful panorama of the bay of Calvi and the ridge towards Monte Cinto is probably from the road over the Col de Salvi. This means that on the D 151 leading over the pass, despite the very moderate traffic volume, you may well come across a coach that is too big for the road, which is mostly only one and a half lanes wide.

The Col de Salvi is a quiet, very worthwhile connection option for racing cyclists who are heading towards Calvi from the (north)east via the Col de San Colombano or the Bocca di a Battaglia.

The municipalities of Lunghignano and Montemaggiore merged in 1972 to form the municipality of Saint-Rainier-de-Balagne. Saint-Rainier-de-Balagne was merged with Cassano on 1 January 1973 to form the municipality of Montegrosso, named after the Monte Grosso mountain range.

Montegrosso consists of the villages of Montemaggiore/Montemaiò as the main town (381 m), Cassano/Cassani (300 m) and Lunghignano/Lunghignani (340 m). The municipality is located at about 400 meters above sea level and borders Lavatoggio to the north, Cateri and Avapessa to the northeast, Muro to the east, Zilia to the southeast, Calenzana to the southwest, Calvi to the west and Lumio to the northwest.

Montegrosso (Corsican: Montegrossu) is a municipality on the French island of Corsica. It belongs to the region of Corsica, the department of Haute-Corse, the arrondissement of Calvi and the canton of Calvi. Depending on the district, the residents call themselves Montemaggiorais, Lunghignanais, Cassanais, Montemaiuracci, Lunghignaninchi or Cassaninchi.
