Tips from the Community
Col with a name this time. Although it's received the title 'col', the road does not really cross it. The ride up this 12km climb does not serve to cross into inland territorities, and at best gives you a remarkable detour to reach Sarte, south of Propriano. Climbing it from the seaside roundabout makes this a classic self imposed challenge for legs and mind. After a rolling start through the fields and meadows, the first of many rampas starts after the bridge at the right turn. Double digit sections are mingled with easy parts and even downhill parts, while the road surface gradually degrades. The villages are small and sparse as you climb deeper into the valley. Ever higher, the forest makes way for a stunning view of the Valinco bay and imposing red rock formations towering around you. The road goes steep, the switchbacks follow up quickly, double digits are carved into the legs. Creating another steep bit offers a dive into a dark pine forest. Remarkably, it offers a tree climb adv

A superb pass, not a single car, a superb view, only red granite rocks above Propriano; it's sublime. I recommend going up the D557, whose road is quite damaged, and going down the D19, which is in perfect condition. The view of Propriano becomes increasingly open and unobstructed as you descend the D19.

Fozzano is a pretty, characterful village located in southern Corsica. Its fortified houses, dating from the Middle Ages, notably inspired Prosper Mérimée's novella "Colomba." Perched in the Tavaria Valley, Fozzano offers unobstructed views of the Baracci Valley and the Gulf of Valinco.
