Beautiful climb from Porto Vecchio. Beautiful views over southern Corsica at the start. At the top, it flattens out and you pass a beautiful lake and drive into another world. Rockier and rougher, like the landscape near Bavella... read more

Prachtige klim vanuit Porto Vecchio. Aan het begin mooie uitzichten over Zuid Corsica. Bovenop vlakt het af en kom je langs een prachtig meer en rij je een andere wereld in. Rotsachtiger en ruiger, zoals het landschap bij de Bavella

The higher you get, the more beautiful it becomes. In the summer especially a hot climb. A wide road all day in the sun so it warms up well, especially if there is no wind. The climbs on the other side of the mountain are a lot cooler.

Hoe hoger je komt, hoe mooier het wordt. In de zomer vooral een bloedhete klim. Een brede weg die de hele dag in de zon ligt waardoor het goed opwarmt, zeker als het niet waait. De beklimmingen aan de andere kant van de berg zijn een stuk koeler.
