What a great island to cycle on, Corsica is. Quiet little roads with little traffic and regularly loose cattle.

Wat is Corsica een geweldig eiland op te fietsen. Rustige kleine wegen met weinig verkeer en regelmatig loslopend vee.

Very nice pass, short, regular, without any specific percentage, 9 km from Ghisoni, to be climbed at a good pace if you are well motivated, it's a pure pleasure. You can do both sides in the same trip. The Ghisoni side is a bit harder, the Vizzavona side a bit less. Not, of traffic not, of cow not, of pig.

Très beau col, court, regulier, sans pourcentage execif , 9 km en partant de Ghisoni, à gravir en tempo si bien motivé c'est un pur plaisir. À faire les deux versants dans la même sortie. Côté Ghisoni c'est un peu plus dur, côté vizzavona un peu moins. Pas, de circulation pas, de vache pas, de cochon.

Long and solid climb without respite. We did it after the Granace and Verde passes and enjoyed it. The end seems endless with a flanking road where you think you can guess the pass at every bend in the road. Very little traffic. Great road.

Longue et solide montée sans répit. Nous l'avons faite après les cols de Granace et de Verde et nous avons dégusté. La fin semble interminable avec une route à flanc où on pense deviner le col à chaque coude de la route. Très peu fréquenté. Route impec.
