Pigna

Highlight • Settlement

A lot of crafts: pottery, glazes in picturesque surroundings. The village lies on a mountain spur, in many places a fantastic view of the coast.

Montemaggiore - Col de Salvi - Cateri

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

This section offers a magnificent view of the Balagne and the Monte Grosso massif up to the Santa Reparata region. The Bay of Calvi, the mountain villages in the "Balcony of Balagne", the green meadows and fields with the yellow gorse and the ever-present kites are probably enough of a highlight to drive this route.

Montemaggiore

Highlight • Settlement

From Calvi, take the D451. It is a beautiful and quiet back road. Just before Montemaggiore there are a few hairpin bends.
The D151 from Calvi to Calenzana is straight as an arrow and very busy. A stop in Calenzana is still worthwhile because of the biscuiterie (Sarl e Fritelle). From Calenzana, the D151 is again nice to drive on.

October 11, 2024,Córcega etapa 05: de L'Île Rousse a Calvi
A mountain route to avoid the main road. Delightful views, manageable elevation gain, and almost no traffic. The silhouette of Monte Cinto, at 2,706 m, the highest point on the island, is magnificent. The asphalt near Col de Salvi is very deteriorated, but it's worth it!
