Col de Teghime pass. From here you have a beautiful view to the east, and a few meters further on there is a magnificent panorama to the west towards the Gulf of Saint-Florent. There is also a memorial here for the struggle for Corsica's liberation in World War II.

No more getting through on a mountain bike. Steps too high, too overgrown.
