Perhaps the most dramatic, exciting road in Corsica, Route de Bavella forms a roundtrip total of 112 km (69.5 mi). The road goes through a dense expanse of chestnut trees and old pines and rises steadily up to 1,218 m (3,996 ft), where you'll see the towering statue of "Notre Dame des Neiges" (Our Lady of the Snow). An amazing panorama of peaks and forest spreads out from the top to the northwest. The serrated granite ridge of the Cirque de Gio Agostino is dwarfed by the pink pinnacles of the Aiguilles de Bavella, and behind that soars Mount Incudine. Put Route de Bavella at the forefront of your travel plans using our Zonza route planner.

Absolutely beautiful scenery and good road, so easy to drive. I think this was the most beautiful inland landscape in Corsica. It doesn't take long. We stopped many places and no charge for parking...

Did this drive sitting on a coach and was blown away with the scenery, views and of course the coach drivers skill. What a route, I’d love to do it in a car! Preferably a British right Hand drive...
