The Steps of Santa Regina

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The ride through the Scala di Santa Regina gorge is an absolute must when cycling in Corsica. The winding but not steep road leads between towering rock walls, partly carved into the rock and partly built onto it using high retaining walls, along the Golo River. Once you have driven through the gorge, the valley at Calacuccia opens up and you drive along the foot of the Monte Cinto massif, whose summit region, which is still snow-covered in spring, provides a great panorama for the further journey towards Col de Vergio.

La Scala di Santa Regina Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

No, you're not dreaming ! You are indeed in Corsica, although this narrow canyon may remind you of a Far West setting.

This parade of La Scala di Santa Regina (Saint Régine's staircase) is a long gorge that stretches for more than 15 kilometers. It was dug by the Golo river which flows below. You evolve at the foot of high rock faces.

That's wonderful !

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

It is a very beautiful route that passes through the rock with a unique view of the Spelunca gorges. Many semi-wild pigs are found everywhere along the road. Be careful when going downhill.

Vergio Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Vergio is the highest pass in Corsica. From its height of 1,467 meters, it is the meeting point between two famous trails: The GR20 and the GR Mare à Mare.

At the pass, you will see a strange 25-ton statue made of pink granite stone. It represents Christ the King and is the work of Noël Bonardi.
