- Difficulty Level
Level 3
XLevel 1: Occasional
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Level 2: Recreational
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Level 3: Enthusiast
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Level 4: Avid
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Level 5: Expert
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
Spellbinding Corsica
White cliffs, azure lagoons, ultramarine blue skies and soaring mountains all welcome you to this Mediterranean island that has been a preferred retreat of celebrities since the 1950s. Not quite France and not Italy, either, Corsica’s spellbinding idiosyncrasies are best experienced on two wheels. With the aid of your charming guide, you will have a chance to explore all of its facets—from Calvi’s palm-shaded chic to the wild maquis of the Desert des Agriates, from vineyards to citrus groves, from savoury cheeses and cured meats to transcendent seafood cuisine. You don’t need to be a star to embark on this journey—but we do recommend the big sunglasses!

REQUEST A QUOTEDay by Day
Welcome to Corsica! Your guide will meet you at Calvi Airport and take you for a warm-up ride to the chapel of Notre Dame de la Serra, where you'll enjoy excellent views of Calvi's bay. On your return, perhaps you'd like to stop for an ice cold Pietra or Colomba (local chestnut and maquis-flavoured beers) on the pretty port.
After a pool-side breakfast, head off on one of Europe's most beautiful roads to the port of Galeria. This afternoon, cycle part of the Tour De France's Corsica route.
Explore the many charming towns and villages of the Balagne region, stopping off in Calenzana for a taste of fresh-from-the-oven canistrellii cookies. Lunch will be in the tiny town of Pigna as you enjoy breathtaking coastal views.
Star the day learning about Calvi's fortified citadel with our expert guide then enjoy a lunch of traditional Corsican fare at our favourite auberge. This afternoon, climb to Bocca di Vezzu for stunning views of the countryside and the azure shore.
Following a hearty breakfast, explore the wild, winding, windswept coast of the Cap Corse. This afternoon you'll head inland to one of Corsica’s few limestone and clay terroirs, and stop for a visit and tasting with one of our favourite local wine producers.
Visit Monsieur Calizi’s citron farm and learn about the citrus medica. Sample some of Calizi's jams, cakes and liqueurs before continuing to Centuri, the tip of Cap Corse and France's number one lobster-fishing port. Tonight, enjoy a final night cocktail with your guide.
After a farewell breakfast at the hotel, you’ll be driven to the Bastia airport in time for your flight. If your schedule permits, the morning could include a stop in Haute Corse’s little capital for a wander around the port and lively main square.

Hotels
La Signoria, Calvi
Once the Genoese estate of “La Paratella”, La Signoria has always astonished its guests. The Relais & Châteaux hotel, expanded, enhanced and lulled by the murmur of fountains, is still a source of enchantment, with the shade of its century-old trees, and its verdant, peaceful park.

Hotel La Dimora, Oletta
Nestled in the Nebbiu's fertile Conca d'Oru, this one-time noble summer farm dates back to the 18th century. Its stones speak of history, its renovation of contemporary comfort: spa, hammam, private poolside cabins crafted from onetime sheepfolds—all set amid a lovely park dotted with olive trees.

Hotel Le Tomino, Macinaggio
This four-star contemporary boutique hotel offers spectacular coastal views from its five spacious rooms, all in wood and all turned towards the sea, with expansive private terraces. A wonderfully intimate, peaceful spot with delectable hand-crafted cuisine. View hotel website »
