Self-guided tour of Corsica on a motorcycle
Corsica lies between 43° 01′ and 41° 22′ north latitude and 9° 34′ and 8° 33′ east longitude. The island is bordered to the north by the Ligurian Sea, to the east and south by the Tyrrhenian Sea and to the west by the western Mediterranean Sea. The island measures 183 km from north (Cap Corse) to south (Capo Pertusato) and 83 km from east (Alistro) to west (Capo Rosso). The mountainous Mediterranean island offers plenty of variety and a colorful mix of elegant coastal towns, rugged peaks and dense forests.
The sun-drenched "Island of Beauty" is a dream destination for motorcyclists thanks to its diverse landscape and the great contrasts between the individual regions. Especially in spring, when Corsica is in bloom and fragrant, the pleasant temperatures are ideal for a motorcycle tour.

You can extend or shorten the trip as you wish, depending on your preferences and how much time you have available.

The fascinating mountain world of Corsica exerts a magical attraction. You must ride some of the narrow and winding roads and the Castagniccia region in particular, with its lush chestnut forests, offers the explorer something extraordinary (extra tour 3). Corte, the secret capital of Corsica, is also located in the hinterland and is well worth a visit, as is the Défilé de la Scala di Santa Regina, a magnificent natural wonder (Extra-Tour 1). You will be able to experience all of this on this trip.
In addition to delicious cheese, wild herbs and chestnuts, Corsica is famous for its pools - the river bathing spots. You shouldn't miss the chance to swim in the pools of crystal-clear water that have been perfectly carved over millions of years. You can do this, for example, on a tour to the Asco Valley (extra tour 3).
By the way: Don't miss out on local specialties such as lonzu and coppa, wines and the chestnut beer pietra, sheep and goat cheese, honey and of course the best mineral water "St-Georges" on your trip around the island!
