Am heading there in a couple of weeks, based in Calvi (and not looking to stray too far from there)
Anyone know of/able to recommend any MTB guiding in the area? Just want to do a day really rather than a tour.
Many thanks
A little bit of previous thread action [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/corsica-riding ]here[/url].
Didn't seem to be much MTB'ing going on the few times we've been, some fantastic road riding around your area though, up in La Balagne. Likely to be seriously hot too. Are you taking a bike along? The type of bikes in hire-shops wouldn't stand much more than a few miles round the local pavements, but I'm sure there are better if you search around (probably entailing massively out-of-proportion euros). There seemed to be thousands of trails around, but quite likely easy to get lost.
We stayed at Ile Rousse a couple of times, few miles east of Calvi, wonderful area. The wee train's a great way to tour the coast, you can stop off at each beach & hop back on. + the boat trip to Scandola / Girolata is well worth it...

Enjoy, sinking a cool [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietra ]Pietra[/url] or 2 at the days end is a life-memory 🙂
Had my honeymoon nr Propriano 10yrs ago. Corsica is one of the most beautiful and spectacular places in europe. I'd advise watching a bit of tdf on the telly at the weekend for the 3 Corsican stages. Think roadie not mtb would be best bet although its some time since I was there.
Also recommend looking at the GR20 walking trail. 15 days worth of walking so no good for this time you're there, but a spectacular trail down the centre of the isle.
Only managed 3 days of it before my walking buddy did in his cruciate ligament but I will complete it one day soon!
