When bikes meet hiking

The 10-day GR20 X GT20 Hybrid Crossing is a new alliance between bike adventure and mountain hiking. From Calvi to Conca, you cross Corsica from north to south by combining two mythical routes classified as UNESCO World Heritage. Enjoy 4 days of cycling until Corte, then continue on foot on the GR20.

 

Not a keen cyclist?

No problem! Our cycling stages are offered with a premium e-bike (VAE) that will allow you to complete all the climbs effortlessly and leave you time to marvel at the landscape.

Enjoy fully organized logistics to ensure continuity between the two practices :

  • Roadbooks and GPS tools designed by field professionals.
  • Delivery of bikes on site when you need them.
  • Handling of transfers and part of the baggage according to the stay.

 

💰 Budget
From 1715€ / person

Jour 1 : Calvi - Galeria
40 km
350 m
Discovery of this very wild part of the coast. The view is magnificent throughout. The road may be damaged in places - for road bikes, favor the passage through the Col de Marsolinu and its magnificent view of the Calvais region.
Jour 2 : Galeria - Porto
50 km
700 m
The road takes us towards the rich western coastline of Corsica. At the Col de Palmarella we await one of the most beautiful panoramas of our stay.
Jour 3 : Porto - Calacuccia
60 km
1610 m
The ascent of the Col de Vergio with the magnificent gorges of Spelunca ! Discovery of the Niolu region with Monte Cintu and Paglia Orba on the horizon.
Jour 4 : Calacuccia - Corte
50 km
880 m
The Scala di Santa Regina gorge ! Sublime ! The road is magnificent throughout until Corte, the historic capital of Corsica. Transition day GT20 - GR20 - recovery of bikes and delivery of your hiking backpacks - night in Corte.
Jour 5 : Vizzavona - Capanelle
5h15
890 m
Start in Corte with a train transfer planned to Vizzavona - start of your GR South. You follow an old mule path that takes you to the Palmente pass (1640 m). The eastern coast unfolds at your feet, offering a splendid panorama of the Diana and Urbinu ponds.
Jour 6 : Capanelle - Verde
4h20
460 m
Continuation on the red and white trail for a stage in the forest. Through the Marmano beech forest you reach the Verde pass. The trail rises through the woods, initially using an old forest exploitation track.
Jour 7 : Verde - Usciolu
7h30
800 m
You continue your progress towards the south on an aerial course on the ridges between the Taravu valley and the eastern plain. On the route crossing of Punta Cappella 2041 m. Quite airy passage on the ridge crest crossing fairly steep rocky slopes (but requiring no special equipment).
Jour 8 : Usciolu - Bassetta
4h25
380 m
You reach the ridge of statues and walk on the ridge edge, between blocks of granite twisted by the wind, with the Tyrrhenian Sea as backdrop. Descent by a variant between the hills where the Bassetta inn is located.
Jour 9 : Bassetta - Bavella
6h45
1330 m
You cross the Cuscionu Plateau, the highest altitude plateau of the Regional Natural Park. The day continues with a long descent towards Asinao. Via a steep route, you take the alpine variant and walk to cross the famous Bavella Needles. The granite shapes tortured by erosion are spectacular.
Jour 10 : Bavella - Conca
6h45
1350 m
A gentle descent awaits you today; be careful, this last stage is not to be underestimated, the descent is long, with no water points and the heat of the coast may surprise. You progressively cross the vegetation levels before arriving at Bocca d'Usciolu which marks the last descent to the village of Conca, the final point of your journey.
