Tourist and technical description

At Bocca di Sarzoggiu, the route joins the Cinarca and its villages, perched high above the Gulf of Liscia. Then, via the Bocca d’Ambiegna, it reaches the valley of the River Cruzzini, which it skirts before heading uphill to join the Bocca di Tartavellu. On the descent, it passes through Vero and joins the Ajaccio–Bastia main road (T 20) for a short while – mostly downhill! Finally, the route continues at a leisurely pace along small roads before returning to the starting point. The roads are in good condition but never straight or flat!
