La Grande Traversée (GT20)

 

We were briefed by Atout France on the key aspects of the route:

  • Accessibility: Designed for all types of cyclists, whether you’re training or simply enjoying the Corsican landscapes on an e-bike.

  • Flexibility: The route is planned for 12 stages but can be customized for shorter durations.

  • Ease of navigation: No GPS is required; the route is well-marked with easy-to-follow signals.

  • Scenic diversity: Experience the island’s contrasts, from coastal roads to the rugged mountains of the interior.

  • Cultural and culinary highlights: Enjoy Corsican gastronomy and culture along the GT20.

  • Services: Despite following secondary roads, there are numerous services available, including e-bike charging points, restaurants, hotels, and museums.

  • Year-round destination: While autumn and spring are ideal, Corsica is a year-round destination.
