[Closed] Corsica - any recommendations for trails, guides or locals?

Morning bump for this as I'm interested too.

Hopeless

I remember an article in an old mbr or singletrack. I think they did one of the main GRs that dissect the mountains. I'll try and dig it out for you. We went there regularly before kids (but not riding) and the landscape is spectacular. Taking the slow train from Ajaccio (through the mountains) gives an indication of the riding out there. Love it.

Just found this in the mean time. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Exploring-Corsica-2013.html

Dan Milner did an article

I have walked parts of the GR20 and most of the Mare et Monte - which is very rugged - probably unrideable in lots of places.

I love Corisca for its costal ruggedness - there are better places to ride though

Also heading out for first couple of weeks in September but unlikely to get any riding done 🙁

You will have more luck searching for routes and gpx files if you can read french, Italian or German. Here are 4 routes I found while researching the place.... You need to click into the routes and go to page 3 for the gpx files
