Avis itinérance vélo Corse

A trip that leaves wonderful memories! An experience to share with perfect strangers or good friends, where time spent on the bike—and off it—creates shared moments that build new bonds or strengthen existing ones. The accommodations, routes, delicious meals—everything was perfect during this stay in Corsica !

Full days well spent, with effort always rewarded by breathtaking views, stunning landscapes, and untamed nature. One of the highlights was cycling through the maquis, bringing a taste of adventure that sticks with you and makes you eager for more unique experiences like this !

Thank you and kudos to Gravel Up for the organization from start to finish; it was absolutely fantastic !!

avis Gravel en Corse

An incredible experience in a stunning setting, masterfully organized by the entire Gravel Up team! Everything was perfect – the bikes, the base camp, the routes, the lunch breaks, and of course, our guide James, who looked after us throughout these days of adventure in Corsica.

If you love cycling and want to experience something off the beaten path that you’ll remember for a lifetime, go for it! Gravel Up is made for you!!

Flawless organization! The organizers took care of every detail, including tuning up the bikes—even those that weren’t rentals. The atmosphere was fantastic, and Corsica truly lives up to its reputation as the "Isle of Beauty," with routes that showcase so much of its splendor.

This trip also gave me the chance to test my new gravel bike, which (by chance) was also an Origine Graax—a great choice!

An exciting stay with the discovery of varied and intense sporting routes through magnificent landscapes. Quality and friendly staff who were able to help us discover the local cuisine at the same time.

Very well organized trip to Corsica. A great island for gravel cycling. Gravel Up guiding was very professional and the route planning adapted to our group. Gravel bikes were very good (both muscle and e-bikes). Breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners were tasty and plenty. Accomodation (the base camp) is very special! All in all a 5* trip.

It was a unique gravel cycle experience in Corsica. Without GravelUp, I would never have traveled to such a beautiful island. The accommodation and itineraries were robist in the right sense. Strong recommendation😎

corse à vélo

Day 1: ∼ 30 km

We’ll kick off the first day with a warm-up ride to get familiar with the gravel bikes while exploring the Corsican maquis. This 30 km loop takes us to a unique archaeological site set in a pristine highland plateau. After a short tour among ancient menhirs, we’ll descend via an exceptional gravel track toward the beach of Tradiccetu and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

We'll return to base camp for a fireside dinner prepared by our host, Cyril.

Day 2: ∼ 75 km

Get ready to feel the burn—this one's a challenge! On the agenda for day two: a 75 km ride heading north toward the central region of Alta Rocca and the town of Zonza, where we’ll spend the night. We’ll pass through the Ortolo Valley, home to the most renowned vineyards of the Sartène region.

We’ll stop at Domaine de Saparale for a guided tour and a tasting of wine and olive oil. After a delicious lunch break, you'll experience the real, rural Corsica—authentic, rugged, and breathtaking. Expect dreamlike scenery and the feeling of venturing deep into the heart of the island, far off the beaten path.

Day 3: ∼ 70 km

The queen stage! We’ll begin with a gravel track running through the valley floor, offering stunning views of the Aiguilles de Bavella. After riding through traditional villages, we’ll climb up to the Coccionu Plateau. At the top, a unique trail awaits—accessible thanks to our special permits—within the protected Natura 2000 reserve. Wild black pigs, free-roaming horses and cows, and the famous pozzi (underground rivers) will make this an unforgettable ride.

We’ll return to Zonza via a playful, little-used descent that you're sure to love!

Bikepacking corse

Day 4: ∼ 65 km

It’s time to head back to our base camp. We’ll ride through the stunning Ospedale Forest, with gravel sections that are truly one-of-a-kind! You’ll also be amazed by breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, giving you a profound sense of freedom and solitude. We'll return to Tribu via scenic trails, followed by a well-deserved rest after three full days of exploration.

Day 5: ∼ 40 km

We’ll depart from base camp for the final morning. Our destination is the beach of Cala di Conca—12 km of trail through grassy meadows. This secluded beach is accessible only by this track or by sea. For those motivated enough, a quick swim awaits! Afterward, we’ll head back into the maquis, climbing up toward the village of Tizziano.

Enjoy incredible sea views as we approach the village, passing through the southern beaches and trails. Finally, we'll return to Tribu for a farewell lunch to wrap up this unforgettable journey.
