Easy pass, you climb in a green setting, it's green from start to finish. It's cool even in the heat wave. At the pass there is an inn, very nice. At the start of Ghisoni it is a bit short, so you can climb up to the station, on the way back after having recovered well on the descent the station junction is like an invitation... read more

Col facile, on grimpe dans un écrin de verdure, c est vert du début à la fin. Il fait frais même par canicule.
Au col une auberge, très sympa. Au départ de Ghisoni c un peu court, alors on peut grimper jusqu'à la station, sur le chemin du retour après avoir bien récupéré dans la descente l'embranchement de la station est comme une invitation

What few people know, and really worthwhile, is the exit to the ski resort of Capannelle. The exit is halfway between Ghisoni and the col de Verde. The narrow asphalt road (D169) has 2 series of in total 11 hairpin bends. And you climb to a height of 1700m. According to me the highest point of Corsica on a paved road.

Wat maar weinigen weten, en echt de moeite waard is, is de afslag naar het skigebied van Capannelle. De afslag zit halverwege Ghisoni en de col de Verde. De smalle geasfalteerde weg (D169) heeft 2 series van in totaal 11 haarspeldbochten. En je klimt naar een hoogte van 1700m. Volgens mij het hoogste punt van Corsica over een verharde weg.
