The route starts in Porto at the Vito gas station. Again, the advice to leave with a full tank. It sometimes happens that petrol stations are closed or defective, and that is not pleasant to drive when you are almost dry. Via the mountain village of Ota you drive to the D84. If you have already driven this road, you can also take the D84 directly from the gas station in the direction of Corte. You do miss the view of an old stone bridge over the river. The D84 is a road with many curves and considerable height differences. Until Corte you will pass a number of viewpoints that are definitely worth a stop and of course Col de Vergio, which at 1467 meters is a serious col on this narrow island. The pass is located on a ridge line between the Punta de Cricche (2057 m) in the Cinto massif to the north of the pass and the Capu a Rughja (1712 m) of the Rotondo massif in the southeast. The departmental road 84 runs over the pass, which opens up the Niolu region on both sides. The road can be used all year round. The long-distance hiking trail "Mare a Mare Nord" also passes over the pass. The pass height is dominated by a large statue of Christ the King, a 25-ton granite monolith and a height of six meters (9.5 meters including the pedestal). This monumental statue is the work of the Corsican sculptor Noël Bonardi and was placed on the col in 1984. The interior of Corsica consists of relatively high mountains with rugged steep slopes. This route cuts through a large part of this area, so that you will make a lot of altitude meters and make many more turns.

The first stop is planned at the village of Calacuccia. Here are several options to score a drink. Just after this village you will pass Barrage de Corsica, a small dam in the river. There is a parking lot here from where you have a good view of the dam and the gorge. Then the route continues towards Corte, the mountain village that we pass on this route, but because of the time left further left. From Corte you take the T20 through central Corsica. This road connects the 2 major cities of Bastia and Ajaccio, but is anything but a boring provincial road. Large height differences, beautiful cols and many bends make this a pleasure to ride. Just before Vivario you leave the T20 briefly and take the old road. In the pendulum you have a beautiful view of both the new and the old bridge over the river Vecchio. There is also a station in the village of Vivario, where the train from Ajaccio to Bastia passes. If you have a day to spare, take the train in Ajaccio and drive the route to Corte and back. This is a fantastic train route that will delight everyone.

If you are pressed for time, you have to decide after the village of Vivario whether you want to cross the route and continue on the T20 towards Ajaccio. This saves you about 3 hours. If you have enough time, you leave the T20 just past Vivario and continue on the D69 to Ghisoni. The lunch stop is planned between Ghisoni and Col de Verde. For this you have to drive up the mountain via a few hairpin bends to get to the tavern. The long-distance walking route also passes here, so you will encounter many walkers. This is also the highest point of the route with 1586 meters. After lunch you drive down the same road and turn right onto the D69. You will now make countless turns. A refueling stop is planned at Cozano, after which you take the D757. The mountains are considerably lower here, but you still encounter a number of cols. At Apa you can once again provide the inner person with a treat at restaurant U Fumicellu.

The route now continues on the T40 towards Ajaccio. Above Ajaccio you will pass Canal de la Gravona, a very old canal and aqueduct that was responsible for the water supply of Ajaccio until about 1960. From here follow the route again on the D81 north to the coast at Tiuccia. After Tiuccia you dive inland again via the D56 and D70. Again one corner after another until you are happy with a straight piece of road. A last col of 1103 meters is the Col de Sevi, after which you start the last descent to Porto. After this you are certainly ready for a wonderful sunset on a terrace or beach with a cool drink. Don't forget to fill up your tank for the next day.
