La Scala di Santa Regina Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

No, you're not dreaming ! You are indeed in Corsica, although this narrow canyon may remind you of a Far West setting.

This parade of La Scala di Santa Regina (Saint Régine's staircase) is a long gorge that stretches for more than 15 kilometers. It was dug by the Golo river which flows below. You evolve at the foot of high rock faces.

That's wonderful !

Calacuccia

Highlight • Settlement

Calacuccia is a village located 847 meters above sea level. The geography here takes a very poetic turn in its naming, since geologically this island valley is named "Below the Mountains". As for the mountains that surround the village, they take the pretty name of "Crystal Corsica".

A dam on the Golo River forms an artificial lake just below the town.

The peaks of the Cinto massif are visible and invite you to come and hike. The highest of these mountains, which culminates at 2,525 meters above sea level, is called the Paglia Orba.

Calacuccia Dam

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1968, the Calacuccia Dam retains water from the Golo River. Its lake is shared between the communes of Calacuccia and Casamaccioli in the Niolo region.

The Steps of Santa Regina

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The ride through the Scala di Santa Regina gorge is an absolute must when cycling in Corsica. The winding but not steep road leads between towering rock walls, partly carved into the rock and partly built onto it using high retaining walls, along the Golo River. Once you have driven through the gorge, the valley at Calacuccia opens up and you drive along the foot of the Monte Cinto massif, whose summit region, which is still snow-covered in spring, provides a great panorama for the further journey towards Col de Vergio.
