YOUR PROGRAM AND THE 2026 ROUTE:

MAY 5 – BASTIA

Arrive at your leisure in Bastia. Take advantage of the end of the day to explore its old town dominated by its citadel. Bastia’s old port is ideal for a stroll to aid digestion before returning to the hotel.

Comfort range accommodation in Bastia: Best Western Monte Cristo*** or Hotel Port Toga***

Privilege range accommodation in Bastia: Hotel Pietracap****

MAY 6 – From BASTIA (ERBALUNGA) to SAINT-FLORENT: 103km / 1,396m

This stage is a real athletic challenge designed for endurance riders and seasoned climbers. Starting from Erbalunga, a charming coastal village, you will set off on a demanding route that winds through the hills of Cap Corse. The winding and spectacular road alternates between technical climbs and fast descents. As you make your way across the cape, you will be rewarded with magnificent landscapes, including scrubland, cliffs, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.

Comfort range accommodation in Saint-Florent: Hotel Tettola*** or  Hotel Les Galets*** or Hotel Flor***

Privilege range accommodation in Saint-Florent: Hotel Basgi Basgi**** or Hôtel Dolce Notte****

MAY 7 – FROM SAINT-FLORENT TO L’ILE ROUSSE: 103km / 1298m

Today’s stage is both fast-paced and demanding. Right from the start, you leave the Gulf of Saint-Florent and set off on a hilly road that winds through the heart of the Agriates Desert, a wild landscape where the uneven terrain puts your stamina to the test. As you approach L’Île-Rousse, the sea view reappears, providing a magnificent backdrop for the final kilometers.

Comfort range accommodation in L’Île Rousse: Hôtel La Pietra*** or Hôtel L’Escale Cote Sud***  or Hôtel Maria Stella***

Privilege range accommodation: Hôtel et Résidence Santa Maria**** or Hotel Rocabella****

MAY 8 – FROM L’ILE ROUSSE TO PORTO: 105km / 1,697m

You leave Balagne behind and head deep into the Corsican hinterland. The route takes you over legendary mountain passes (Col de Palmarella and Col de la Croix) and steep slopes that will put your legs to the test. This stage is a true distillation of wild and mountainous Corsica: you will ride through hilltop villages, rocky ridges, and holm oak forests.

Comfort range accommodation in Porto: Hôtel Costa Rossa*** or Hôtel Corsica***  or Hôtel le Golfe*** or Hotel les Flots Bleus***

Privilege range accommodation in Ota: Résidence Capu Seninu***

MAY 9 – FROM PORTO TO GHISONI: 145km / 3206m

A real altitude challenge, this stage is undoubtedly the Queen stage, one of the most formidable and spectacular of the Corsica Cyclo GT20. You will quickly tackle the steep slopes of the island’s interior through a magnificent setting: the Calanques de Piana, the Gorges de la Spelunca, and the forests of Aïtone herald a day of intense effort and excitement.

At the end of the stage, bus transfer to Ghisonaccia (secure storage for your bike overnight in Ghisoni).

Comfort range accommodation in Ghisonaccia: Camping Perla di Mare**** (night in a bungalow – towel and shower gel included)

Privilege range accommodation: Camping Perla di Mare**** (night in a villa – towel and shower gel included)

MAY 10 – From GHISONI to CARBINI: 101km / 1773m

In the morning, transfer by bus to your departure point in Ghisoni.

This stage takes you on an inland journey dominated by mountains. As soon as you leave Ghisoni, your pedal strokes take you along winding roads lined with forests, with gradual climbs and false flats. The Col de Verde, the highlight of this stage, and the Corsican alpine landscapes accompany the climbs and offer a backdrop worthy of the effort until the finish line in Carbini.

After the finish and the awards ceremony, there are several options:

  • If you have your own vehicle with an accompanying person, your luggage will be delivered to you at the finish. End of the trip in Carbini.
