Extended weekend cycling between Cape Corsica and Nebbiu with Active Europe
EUROPE ACTIVE
At 1h30 from Paris, this stop, consisting of 3 stages, will allow you to take advantage of a little-known region of Corsica and ideal for cycling practice. You have the choice between several variants, more or less difficult, depending on your level. We take care of luggage transportation and you stay in 3 star hotels.
Your daily schedule.
DAY 1 Arrival in Bastia
Your stay starts in Bastia at your hotel in the afternoon. This leaves you time to discover the capital of Upper Corsica. The old harbor is superb as well as the freely accessible citadel and the old town which offers a superb panoramic view of the sea and surroundings. For free lunch, we recommend the old port and its so special atmosphere.
Overnight at hotel*** in Bastia
DAY 2 The Tour of Cape Corsica.
In the morning, after the appointment, pack your bike and follow the D80 (which goes around the Cape), towards Macinaggio. You will follow the coast for about 35 km before cutting from East to West through the Greenhouse pass (365 m). From the other side of the island the route again follows the coast and its superb cliffs. Numerous Genoese towers and peacocks connect the course, and the navies with their little fishing harbors are magnificent. The evening stage takes place in St. Florence, where you can balance on the harbor or visit the citadel.
