The Tour of South Corsica Sport
Over six days, you will traverse Southern Corsica, tackling long, strenuous stages (up to 120 km and over 2,000 m of elevation gain) designed for regular, experienced cyclists. Starting from Ajaccio, you immediately dive into a route built for endurance and steady pacing. Head north toward Porto, with an opening stage that takes you to the Calanques de Piana. Next comes the ascent of the Col de Vergio before you head inland to Corte.
A sustained climb to Zicavo follows, succeeded by a demanding stage to Zonza, nestled at the foot of the Aiguilles de Bavella. Make your way to the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio via L'Ospédale. You will reach the Gulf of Valinco by way of Sartène before returning to Ajaccio along roads dotted with authentic villages. From the rugged coast to mountain hamlets, you will experience a variety of settings, each one spectacular.
One conviction has shaped our trips: no two people experience a journey in exactly the same way.
Some want to ride solo, finding their own rhythm and conquering mountain passes at their own pace, without waiting for anyone. Others enjoy the group dynamic—sharing a climb, regrouping at the summit, and reliving the day's ride over an evening drink. Many want a mix of both, depending on how they feel that day. That is why we 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 fellow travelers setting out on the same day. Everyone rides at their own pace; the group reconnects at refreshment stops or in the evening to share updates on road conditions and scenic viewpoints, recap the stages over dinner, and sometimes even forge new friendships. Our team facilitates the group throughout the journey. Your route book and GPX track provide everything you need to ride independently: the itinerary, stage profiles, mountain passes and their difficulty ratings, 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.
