Experience Corsica differently

 

From Bastia to Bonifacio, the full GT20 route at a "Slow" pace invites you to discover Corsica by taking your time: covering 45 to 70 km a day amidst wild landscapes, authentic villages, and spectacular coastline. From Cap Corse to the Calanques de Piana, from inland valleys to the Aiguilles de Bavella, and on to the cliffs of Bonifacio—each stage reveals a new facet of the island.

 

Our trips are shaped by a single conviction: no two people experience a journey in the same way.

Some dream of crossing Corsica in total autonomy, alone with the island. Others love the idea of ​​crossing paths with fellow travelers, sharing a drink in the evening, a leg of the journey, or a new encounter. And many want a bit of both, depending on the day or their mood. That’s why we’ve designed our trips to let the choice be yours, from the first day to the last.

A few days before departure, you can join a WhatsApp group with other travelers setting off on the same day. It’s a place to share impressions and discoveries, arrange to meet up for drinks or dinner, and sometimes even make new friends. Our team moderates the group throughout the journey. Your roadbook provides everything you need to fully enjoy your trip independently: the route, the stages, our recommended spots, and must-see locations. "Ride solo or meet up with others—you don’t have to decide right now. That’s what traveling freely is all about." 

 

Two ways to experience this trip


-Comfort: from €1,650 per person. Join one of our scheduled departures. In addition to full trip organization, your luggage is transferred daily as part of the group logistics. You ride light and fully enjoy the journey, while connecting with the WhatsApp group of fellow travelers who started on the same day.
-Freedom: from €1,400 per person. Depart on the date of your choice throughout the season. Same itinerary, same route book, same accommodations, and same included dinners: you benefit from the full organization while carrying your own luggage.

 

Your bike at the special participant rate


12-day package, any bike type: €305 instead of €450

Your choice:

-Riese & Müller e-bike: the choice of 8 out of 10 travelers

The ultimate touring bike. Tackle every stage—mountain passes included—with ease; simply recharge at your hotel in the evening. Fully equipped for the crossing: luggage rack, integrated lights, lock, repair kit, rearview mirror, and smartphone mount.

-Polygon carbon road bike: for those who rely on leg power

Carbon frame; a bike built for Corsican mountain passes—light on the climbs up the Vergio, stable on the descents toward Porto.

 

We own our fleet: purchased and maintained in our Ajaccio workshops, delivered by our team to Bastia for your departure, and collected in Bonifacio upon your arrival.

That is why participants enjoy a special rate:

And if you travel with your own bike, there is no extra cost: the trip price remains the same.
