Discover Corsica Differently
The GT20 Intégrale Sport is a dynamic north-to-south traverse: the same route, but at a faster pace and tackling longer, more challenging climbs. Spanning six days from Bastia to Bonifacio, it is designed for regular cyclists seeking a major challenge—without sacrificing comfortable accommodation or authentic Corsican cuisine.
From Cap Corse to the rugged terrain of the Niolu region, and from the UNESCO-listed Calanques de Piana to the remote roads of Alta Rocca, you will ride a succession of iconic mountain passes set between the sea and the peaks. Expect long, demanding stages—up to 125 km and over 2,000 m of elevation gain per day—featuring challenging roads and breathtaking panoramas that reward the effort.
Our trips are shaped by a single conviction: no two travelers experience a journey in the same way.
Some prefer to ride solo, finding their own rhythm and tackling the passes at their own pace without waiting for others. Others enjoy the camaraderie of a group—sharing a climb, regrouping at the summit, and recounting the day's ride over an evening drink. Many want a mix of both, depending on how they feel each day. That is why we have designed our trips to let you make that choice, from the first pass to the last.
A few days before departure, you can join a WhatsApp group with other travelers setting off on the same day. Everyone rides at their own pace, meeting up at refreshment stops or in the evening to share road conditions and views, relive the day's stages over dinner, and sometimes even make new friends. Our team manages the group throughout the journey.
Your route book and GPX track provide everything you need to ride independently: the itinerary, stage profiles, details on the mountain passes and their difficulty levels, our recommended stops, and refreshment points. Ride solo or meet up with others—you don’t have to decide right now. That’s the freedom of travel.
Two ways to experience this trip
- "Comfort" option: luggage transfer included, guaranteed departures – from €975/person.

Cape Corse offers a magnificent coastal road allowing you to tour it completely. The corniche road runs at sea level, following pretty little marinas. On the western side, the sheer coast dominates the shoreline spectacularly.
The stage begins with the crossing of the Desert of the Agriates then the ascent to Col de Battaglia. The promontory villages of Upper Balagne offer us breathtaking panoramic views over the bays of Calvi and Île Rousse.
The road leads us to the rich western coast of Corsica. At the Palmarella pass (408 m) awaits one of the most beautiful panoramas of our trip: the Gulf of Girolata and the Scandola nature reserve, listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
The stage begins with the ascent of the Vergio Pass, the highest road pass in Corsica. Arrival then in Niolu and its peaks Monte Cintu and Paglia Orba which culminate at over 2000 m. Then the Scala di Santa Regina! Magical!
Passage through two magnificent passes today, the Sorba Pass and the Verde Pass. This beautiful road will introduce you to the interior of Corsica.
