On the western slopes of Cap Corse, the steep coast dominates the shoreline in spectacular fashion, overlooked by Genoese towers and windmills on the crests. Its higher elevations offer superb panoramic views of the Cap and the Bay of Saint-Florent.

Day 5Algajola-Galeria
Distance: 60 km / D+: 1060 m

Crossing the Marsolinu pass with a beautiful view of the Calvais region, Galeria is isolated by the sea, at the mouth of the Fango valley, this village is a haven of peace in the middle of the summer clamour.

Day 6Galeria-Porto

The road takes us to Corsica's rich western coastline. At the Palmarella pass, one of the most beautiful panoramas of the trip awaits us: the Gulf of Girolata and the Scandola nature reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fauna and flora of this entire region are exceptional.

Day 8Cargèse-Ajaccio
Distance: 58 km / D+: 840 m
