| RIDE & DRIVE - MOUNTAIN BIKING IN SOUTHERN CORSICA | price from 439 € | | Corsica - Mountain biking - Ride & Drive - 8 days |
On the 7 Stages of this trip you will drive around the beautiful southern extremity of Corsica. Each day you'll ride on different tracks and trails, except in Bonifacio where we thought a day off would be good for the legs and some site-seeing. But you can also explore the area on your bike!
