Technical specifications

The road between Ucciani and Tavera is in very poor condition. Following it uphill, in the proposed direction, is less strenuous than the other way round.

Similarly, the road in the Prunelli gorges is not very good, but work is due to start soon.

Key words: Col de Scalella, Bastelica, Cauro, Tavera, Tolla
