If you love horses and the Wild West, the ochre grounds of this ranch will take you on a journey. Don't hesitate to walk around to the entrance to ask if a ride is available. This will be an opportunity to swap your bike seat for another one and discover the surroundings in a different way.

I did the loop in June 2025. It's generally a nice tour, but I highly recommend doing the large southern loop up to the church, including the single trail, in the opposite direction, so you go up the paved road and down the steep motocross section. Strangely enough, the original track above includes an additional loop where you also have to go up the single trail with a few short pushing sections and then return on a well-maintained forest road (not steep). Definitely do it in the opposite direction; then everything is rideable. By the way, I've also reported this to Komoot support. They might change the direction. I recommend doing the loop from Calvi to the church counterclockwise and the short loop at the top of the church clockwise. Have fun on this fantastic and varied loop.
