Cross Corsica differently - NEW Product 2027
From Ajaccio to Bonifacio, the "Slow-Paced" GT20 South invites you to discover Southern Corsica over the course of eight days. It is an immersive, leisurely journey: eight stages ranging from 30 to 70 km per day, allowing you to explore the island's wonders without ever rushing.
You start in Napoleon’s hometown, reach the Calanques de Piana, and traverse the rugged terrain of the Niolu region. Your adventure continues from the villages of Alta Rocca and the Aiguilles de Bavella peaks all the way to the cliffs of Bonifacio. Experience a Southern Corsica of wild landscapes, authentic villages, and spectacular mountains—a region that reveals a new face each day.
The slow pace gives you the time to truly savor the experience: stopping at a beach, in a village, or at a local producer’s table. It is the southern leg of the great crossing, accessible to everyone.
One belief has shaped our trips: no two people experience a journey in the same way.
Some dream of crossing Corsica completely independently, alone with the island. Others enjoy the idea of meeting fellow travellers along the way, sharing a drink in the evening, a stage or an encounter. Many want both, depending on the day and their mood. That is why we have designed our trips so that the choice remains yours, from the first day to the last.
A few days before departure, you may join the WhatsApp group for travellers leaving on the same day as you. It is a place to share impressions and discoveries, arrange to meet for an aperitif or dinner and, sometimes, make new friends. Our team manages the group throughout the crossing. Your roadbook provides everything you need to fully enjoy your journey independently: the route, the stages, our recommended addresses and the places not to be missed.
Ride alone or meet up with the others: you do not have to decide now. That is what travelling freely means.

Pick up your bikes at our Cyclospot shop, located right across from the airport. The route heads west from Calvi, alternating between beaches and cliffs, before crossing the inland Balagne region with its valleys, rivers, and dense maquis scrubland. The mountains draw closer and the vegetation becomes wilder as you approach Galéria, a small village nestled between the sea and unspoiled terrain.
The road hugs a wild coastline of dense scrub, sheer cliffs, and turquoise waters. It winds through deep, narrow valleys before climbing back up toward the red terrain. Approaching Porto reveals the Genoese tower, the harbor, and the mountains that enclose the valley.
Climbing the Vergio Pass with the magnificent Spelunca gorges! Discovery of the Niolu region with Monte Cintu and Paglia Orba on the horizon.
The Scala di Santa Regina gorge! Sublime! The road is magnificent all the way to Corte historic capital of Corsica.
Passage through Boziu before discovering the charming villages of the Venanais region and reaching Vivario, your home base for the night.
The upper Taravo region is absolutely magnificent. The roads there are peaceful and nature is omnipresent.
Today you will pass through the Vaccia pass before reaching the magnificent Alta Rocca region. The Bavella needles appear on the horizon.
Crossing the magnificent Ospedale forest then an unobstructed view of Porto-Vecchio bay. Magical!
