The experience

Experience Corsica differently

 

From Bastia to Bonifacio, the GT20 Intégrale links the two ends of the island in 12 days. A great crossing, ridden at a Slow pace: 12 stages of 45 to 70 km, to take the time to see it all without ever pushing the tempo.

You follow the Mediterranean shore of Cap Corse and its Genoese towers, reach the red cliffs of Piana listed by UNESCO, cross the shepherds' country of the Niolu and its laricio pine forests, ride beneath the Bavella needles, and finally come to the white cliffs of Bonifacio. A Corsica of the sea, the mountains and the high pastures, changing its face by the day.

The Slow pace leaves you the time for it: the time to stop before a view, in a village, at a producer's table. A gentle epic, scented with the maquis.

 

Our trips are shaped by a single conviction: no two people experience a journey in the same way.

Some dream of crossing Corsica in total autonomy, alone with the island. Others love the idea of ​​crossing paths with fellow travelers, sharing a drink in the evening, a leg of the journey, or a new encounter. And many want a bit of both, depending on the day or their mood. That’s why we’ve designed our trips to let the choice be yours, from the first day to the last.

A few days before departure, you can join a WhatsApp group with other travelers setting off on the same day. It’s a place to share impressions and discoveries, arrange to meet up for drinks or dinner, and sometimes even make new friends. Our team moderates the group throughout the journey. Your roadbook provides everything you need to fully enjoy your trip independently: the route, the stages, our recommended spots, and must-see locations. "Ride solo or meet up with others—you don’t have to decide right now. That’s what traveling freely is all about."
