More than 35 km of climbing with a variety of magnificent views. Climbed on 9 October 2024. My bike is a VTTAE CUBE weighing 23.8 kg.
I don't have any pictures but a video of the full climb is forthcoming. In the meantime :

I did a trip from Cargese, via Piana to Porto and started the climb there. A climb that never becomes steep but because of his length still a serious climb. Great views in the first 10k, the top is satisfing but not so beatifull. I returned via the D70 (col de Sevi) to Sargone. Great round trip. The descent from Col de Vergio to Evisa and from Col de Sevi to Sagone are both fantastic descents. Good surface and good overview not to many traffic. For btetween 65 -60 km/h was a safe speed. With tops possible to 75-80km/h. In the morning there is very few traffic before the tourist start driving to the top of the cols.

Done from Evisa, so only the final part and by bicycle touring with a 25kg bike; the gradients are not excessive and the asphalt is good, the landscape is very beautiful, almost completely covered by trees but every now and then there are some fantastic views. There are signs with the kilometre progression and gradients.

Fatta da Evisa, quindi solo la parte terminale e in cicloturismo con una bici di 25kg; le pendenze non sono eccessive e l'asfalto è buono, il paesaggio è molto bello, quasi completamente coperto dagli alberi ma ogni tanto c'è qualche fantastico scorcio. Sono presenti dei cartelli con la progressione chilometrica e le pendenze.

Nice climb but start early because of the heat. Indeed pigs...2x they came after me. Mostly around 4-6 % and a few flat sections.

Mooie klim maar begin vroeg ivm de warmte. Inderdaad varkens…2x kwamen ze achter mij aan. Meestal rond 4-6 % en paar vlakken stukken.

Long climb from Porto but steady and not too difficult. I did it as part of the GT20. Watch out for the pigs on the road.

Longue montée depuis Porto mais régulière et sans grandes difficultés. Je l'ai réalisé dans le cadre du GT20. Attention aux cochons sur la route.

Along the way beautiful and varied nature. During the climb there are enough flat stretches to rest. From Porto you better stay south (right bank) of the river. There the tarmac is better.

Onderweg mooie en gevarieerde natuur. Tijdens de klim genoeg vlakke stukken om bij te komen. Vanuit Porto kun je beter ten zuiden (rechteroever) van het riviertje blijven. Daar is het asfalt beter.

The Gorge de Spelunca where you cycle through is worthwhile to stop once in a while. Very nice!

De Gorge de Spelunca waar je doorheen fietst is de moeite waard om af en toe af te stappen. Erg fraai!
