GT20 / ETAPE 12 :ZONZA - BUNIFAZIU

It's the end of the road for the GT20, with a spectacular final stage from **Zonza** to **Bunifaziu (Bonifacio)**. Over 71km and almost 1,000 metres of ascent, this final section crosses the luminous landscape of the Far South before a spectacular finish facing the sea.

The first few kilometres offer a long descent to **Levie**, a village known for its rich prehistoric past and its departmental archaeology museum. Nearby, the remarkable Cucuruzzu bears witness to the island's ancient occupation and is well worth a cultural stop.

The road then climbs towards the Col de Bacinu. The steady climb up the north face gradually opens up views of the south of the island, before a panoramic descent reveals the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio in the distance.

The route then crosses Sotta and Chera, alternating short but steady climbs with rolling sections. The landscape softens, the light becomes more Mediterranean and the scents of the maquis herald the approach of the coast.

Then comes the deliverance: the final descent to Bunifaziu. Clinging to its white limestone cliffs, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Bouches de Bonifacio, the town offers an unforgettable backdrop to conclude this great island crossing. The last few kilometres on the T10 require vigilance, but the emotion quickly takes over.

Welcome to Bunifaziu, a town steeped in art and history, and the culmination of a sporting and sensory adventure across the whole of Corsica.
