Description

Col de Tartavello has its special place in my memories as my first ever experience with Corsican roads.
In 2013 I got fed up getting beaten by summer thunderstorms day after day while wandering in the mountains for weeks, so I descended from the main ridge to Chiusa and asked the gîte keeper to arrange me a ride to Ajaccio.
The ride in an old, rusty, squeaky Renault Twingo up and down Tartavello's pine forest on a twisty road that back then looked like it was carpet-bombed felt like a mule ride; all that made a deep and unique imprint in my heart.

Downhill too easy you say? You can also tackle the climb!
