Sardinia & Corsica Cycle Tour

Transfer to Cannigione to meet up or a call from the Cycle Rep for a briefing on the route, handover of bicycles and information pack.

Start with a sensational coastal ride to Palau, where you can admire the Maddalena archipelago. Nestled in the hills overlooking the coast, the lovely village of San Pasquale is the ideal base for your lunch break. Quiet country roads will take you to the charming town of Santa Teresa. A quick detour to Capo Testa offers a great view over the straits of Bonifacio to Corsica beyond.

This is the King of the mountain day! The 15km climb to the famous Col de l'Ospedale is softened by the beautiful view of the coastline. The change in landscape from the coast is dramatic the pine tree forest of the natural park brings memories of the Alps, while the Ospedale reservoir offers a refreshing stop. The small mountain hamlet of Zonza will be your base for tonight.

Ride through the small villages of the Alta Rocca region and descend to the Rizzanese valley, rich with vineyards. After a refreshing stop at the Caldane thermal bath, your day ends in Sartene, probably the most Corsican town in Corsica..

The winding coastal road leading to Bonifacio boasts some spectacular views over the straits of Bonifacio and onto Sardinia. Roccaspina is the most renown beach of the many you will find along the way. In Bonifacio say au revoir to Corsica and taking the ferry back to Santa Teresa, buongiorno to Sardinia.

Venture inland in the Galluran hills, riding though Vermentino vineyards and cork oak forests. After the villages of Bassacutena and Arzachena you return to Cannigione, where you can celebrate the end of this beautiful trip.
