A beautiful mountain pass, tucked away in the Corsican mountains and their pine forests, which serves as the return route to Porto-Vecchio after climbing the Bavella Pass. The gentle gradients are perfect for recovering from the exertion of the “monster,” and you can fully enjoy the climb and its scenery.... read more

Un joli col, perdu dans la montagne corse et ses forêts de pins, qui sert de retour sur Porto-Vecchio quand on a escaladé le col de Bavella. Les pourcentages modestes sont adaptés à la fatigue occasionné par le "monstre" et on peut profiter pleinement de la montée et de ses paysages.

After climbing the Col Bavella from Solenzara, this was my route back to Porto-Vecchio. I had the feeling of being on a long false flat, on a beautiful road, with little traffic. I was still on the small plateau, though, as my legs felt heavy after 4h30 of riding and over 2000 m of D+.

Après être monter au col Bavella depuis Solenzara, c’était ma route pour retourner à Porto-Vecchio. J’ai eu le sentiment d’être sur un long faux-plat, sur une belle route, avec peu de circulation. J’étais quand même sur le petit plateau car les jambes étaient lourdes après 4h30 de route et plus de 2000 m de D+.

A small, discreet pass that I made on the way down from Bavella. The road is good, with very little traffic in the off-season, although I don't know if that's still the case in the summer. The scenery is still very pretty, but it's more of a transitional pass if you want to go on to Ospédale and then Porto-Vecchio. The pass is very easy, rolling and presents no difficulties.

Petit col discret que j'ai réalisé en descendant de Bavella. La route est bonne, en hors-saison la circulation est très faible, je ne sais pas si c'est encore le cas pendant l'été. Les quelques paysages restent très jolis, mais il s'agit plus d'un col de transition si vous souhaitez aller vers l'Ospédale puis Porto-Vecchio. Le col est très facile, roulant, et ne présente aucune difficulté

I give this climb 4 stars because I really like the road, although the climb is indeed relatively easy. If you want to make it harder, replace the first part from Zonza with the climb of the Bocca di Pelza from Carabona via Cusciocani, Gauldaricciu and Giglio. Then you really do have a somewhat more serious climb of over 10 km with just under 400 altimeters and some steep kilometres in it of 8 per cent.

Ik geef deze klim 4 sterren omdat ik de weg echt heel mooi vind, al is de klim inderdaad relatief makkelijk. Als je hem moeilijker wilt maken, vervang dan het eerste stuk vanuit Zonza door de klim van de Bocca di Pelza vanuit Carabona via Cusciocani, Gauldaricciu en Giglio. Dan heb je toch echt een wat serieuzere klim te pakken van ruim 10 km met net iets minder dan 400 hoogtemeters en enkele steile kilometers erin van 8 procent.
