For this second day, two cols to face, one of them very difficult. Indeed, the ascent of the Col of Bavella from Solenzara is worth its weight in gold.

Col of Arcarota

The first pass of the day goes relatively well. The descent, in the forest and cool, is very pleasant.

Col of Bavella

A very long passage of more than 40km on a national road and then, shortly before Solenzara, the road forks to the right to gradually rise for about fifteen kilometers. The real difficulty begins at the passage of the Sartène and this until the Col of Bavella. The significant elevation gain of about 1000 meters over about 18km sets the bar very high. It is an ascent that requires a lot of courage.
