Discover Corsica at a Different Pace

From Bastia to Ajaccio, the GT20 North – Slow invites you to experience Corsica without rushing: ride between 35 and 70 km each day through wild landscapes, authentic villages and spectacular coastal scenery. From Cap Corse to the UNESCO-listed Calanques of Piana, every stage reveals a new side of the island.

One belief has shaped the way we design our tours: no two people experience a journey in the same way.
Some dream of crossing Corsica in complete independence, alone with the island. Others enjoy meeting fellow travellers along the way, sharing a drink in the evening, a stage of the journey or an unforgettable encounter. And many want both, depending on the day or simply their mood. That's why we've designed our tours so that the choice is always yours, from the first day to the last.

Your roadbook provides everything you need to enjoy your crossing independently: the itinerary, daily stages, our favourite addresses and the places you shouldn't miss. On your departure day, if you wish, you can also join the WhatsApp group for travellers starting on the same day. It's a place to share experiences and discoveries, arrange to meet for an aperitif or dinner, and sometimes even make lasting friendships. Our team keeps the group active throughout the journey.

 

Two Ways to Experience This Tour

Comfort — €1,289 per person (2027 price to be confirmed)
Travel on one of our scheduled departure dates. Your luggage is transferred from one stage to the next, allowing you to ride light, and you'll join the WhatsApp group for travellers departing on the same day.

Freedom — €1,161 per person (Comfort − €128)
Depart on the date of your choice throughout the season and carry your own luggage for a fully self-supported adventure. You'll enjoy the same itinerary, the same roadbook, the same accommodation and the same dinners included. And if you choose one of our scheduled departure dates, you'll also be part of the WhatsApp group.

Des paysages exceptionnels et variés tout au long du périple, un plus sur les 2 dernières étapes avec les roches couleur ocre. Tout est beau et chaque étape a son charme. Pour les paysages, la 6ème étape entre Galéria et Porto avec vue sur réserve de Scandola et Girolata c'est époustouflant. Sinon quelques rencontres avec des habitants ( Jeanne qui nous a donné de l'eau fraîche à Novella ( 3ème étape St Florent - Belgodère) ou Guy et ses pizzas dans sa paillotte avant le col de Marsoloni (5ème étape) nous ont permis de voir la gentillesse des Corses. (Hervé, Mai 2025).
4/5
Des paysages fabuleux, et des itinéraires superbes au maximum à l'écart de la circulation importante et passant au milieu de villages isolés. Ce qui m'a le plus plu : Les paysages sublimes, ces moments de solitude en plein maquis ,passer dans des villages isolés et d'arriver à l'hôtel après une matinée de vélo et de pouvoir profiter d'un moment de détente à la piscine, à la plage ou découvrir les villages. (Laurent, Juin 2025)
5/5
Super accueil et réponses à nos questions avant et pendant le voyage. Super service et ces voyages à vélo mériteraient d'être plus populaire en Corse, nous avons été très bien accueillis partout où nous allions. Coup de coeur pour l'Étape 2 Ersa - Saint-Florent et l'Étape 6 Galéria - Porto. Merci encore de nous avoir convaincu de faire les étapes 5 à 8! Coup de coeur hôtel: Le Niobel à Belgodère et Hotel Le Saint Jean à Ersa (Julien et Jessica, Septembre 2025)

Nous avons fait 520 kms de Bastia à Ajaccio en 8 jours, en faisant une partie du gt 20 et une partie de la côte. C'était la première fois que nous prenions des vélos électriques et nous avons vraiment apprécié avec les dénivelés Corses. L'équipe nous avait très bien conseillés et nous avons bien profité du séjour. Merci Cycling Corsica pour vos conseils et votre disponibilité. (Evelyne, Juin 2025)

Une magnifique expérience pour cette traversée de la Corse GT20 grâce à l'organisation remarquable de Cycling Corsica qui aura géré de main de maître tous les aspects logistiques et matériels dans une ambiance détendue et familiale. Cyrielle est toujours à l'écoute et très réactive, elle est le clé de voûte de notre voyage et elle fait son travail avec brio. Le choix des hôtels et gîte étaient parfaits et le guide Théo a rendu notre périple extraordinaire. Je recommande vivement. Un grand merci et je reviendrai sans hésiter. Julien
