Attention aux chasseurs...
Vues magnifiques des deux côtés du cap corse.
Très facile pour une promenade en 4X4.
Arrivé à Albo, possibilité de descendre en passant par Nonza jusqu'à St-Florent.
Thanks for sharing - do you have some video from this trail ?
I´m interesting due to do it with bike, but I´m not sure if the road bike is suitable... :-)
As of June 2018, definitely NOT EASY. Landslides have turned sections of the trail into what I’d consider at least difficult. We spent an hour digging to get around a section where there was a meter wide and 2m deep gap in the road. In another part the landslide has taken away half the road forcing you to cross at a pretty severe angle (my inclinometer said 20deg angle). There is also a boulder field you have to cross. All in all great fun and a bit of a challenge, but you are rewarded with great views.
Car: VW T3 Syncro with front and back difflocks. Ground clearance about 28cm

As of September 16th 2018
Track followed with KTM 1290 R & KTM 1190 T.
No difficulties so far, HOWEVER considerations on track Sisco in direction Nonza:
* app. 200m after passing the chapel, abeam the cross, track interruption with detour steephill downside of track with app. 20m steep descent and 10m steep restricted climb.
* app. 500m after passing the chapel, abeam the cross, track restriction due to road destruction with trackside reduced to app. 1m drivable surface.
Ground clearance required.

* app. 500m after passing the chapel, abeam the cross, track restriction due to colapsed road on downhill side with trackwide reduced to app. 1m drivable surface. No bypass available.
* The rock field, as described above is unchanged.
Ground clearance required.
An awarding trip if you're willing to take the above challenges.
Rating depending on bike type and drivers ability.

Fatto in data 4/7/2021, il tracciato anche se dal fondo mosso non presenta difficoltà. La parte di strada franata dopo il passo in direzione Olcani-Nonza è stata sistemata e non occorre più percorrere il bypass. Attualmente è sufficiente avere un mezzo 4x4 per percorrere la traccia. Panorama sempre superbo.

This is a one way "piste" which starts in Lainosa and ends in Sisco. The start is clearly marked and the trail is reasonably easy. It can be found just using google maps by typing in Lainosa. We did this in a stock Mercedes AMG G63 (W463) on summer tires (non-AT) but I think this was not necessary for this trail as any reasonable all wheel drive SUV with enough clearance (15 cm?) would have been fine.
There are no shrubs or tress so the trail won't cause any trail rash to your paint as well.
Scenery is nice but I wouldn't consider it exceptional.
The damage described by other reviewers in previous years is fixed and there are no difficult sections.

sensationell! traumhaft schöne landschaft, navigation einfach, teils grobe steine.
Great trail! A lot of rocks but no problem with some lower PSI AT/MT tires. I would otherwise wary for tire punction.
