YOUR ITINERARY DAY BY DAY

Day 1: Corte - Tavignanu gorges

Day 4: Vergio - Vergio Le Lac de Ninu (South)
6h
760 m
Set off to discover Lake Ninu: set in its grassy setting, it is the most beautiful reward a hiker can dream of. End of your Mare e Mare - pick up your trekking bags and hand over your bikes for the start of your bike crossing the next day - overnight in Vergio.

Your stage begins with a descent through the Spelunca gorges. Then come the emblematic pines of the Aïtone forest. In the distance, views of the Gulf of Porto. You then branch off onto a wild little road that takes you past the beautiful villages of Cristinacce and Renno.

Day 6: Vico - Pevani
