Après avoir créé Matchy en 2016, une marque de vêtements de vélo écoresponsable, Flore et Geoffrey ont décidé de poursuivre leur aventure en ouvrant Matchy Cyclist Clubhouse en juin dernier.

Situé au cœur d’Annecy, le Matchy Cyclist Clubhouse rassemble les cyclistes locaux ou de passage, offrant la possibilité de découvrir la gamme complète de la marque, ainsi que les produits de ses partenaires.

Cet espace constitue un lieu de rencontre privilégié entre les marques et les passionnés de cyclisme, en accueillant des soirées d’activations.

Son espace canapé/télévision est également l’endroit préféré des sportifs passionnés pour regarder les plus grandes compétitions du moment. Le Matchy Cyclist Clubhouse est également le point de rendez-vous pour les sorties cyclistes organisées, dont vous pourrez retrouver les dates ici

If you're interested, here's a two-in-one adventure, tried and approved in Southern Corsica.!

Physical & technical

Starting from Zonza, head towards the beautiful forest trails of the area. This section of forest covers just under 10 kilometers with 3 steep slopes of a few meters, which might require you to get of your bike.

After these challenges, you will be immersed in a forest of fir trees and ferns. A little further on, you will start to discern the peaks piercing the horizon.

Little by little, you will approach the intersection of the road that leads to the summit of Col de Bavella.

The last kilometers are on the road, offering a breathtaking view of your next challenge, the Tour des Aiguilles de Bavella.

After 12 kilometers of gravel and a 600m elevation gain, you will reach the summit of Col de Bavella. Take a left to join the beginning of the 15th stage of the GR20.

You have two options: the first one is to hide your bike by locking it on a tree and let the rest of your belongings dry on a rock! That’s what I did on that day – I left my helmet on the handlebars and my shoes close to my bike. The second option is to park your car the day before at the Col de Bavella parking and then ride your bike back to Zonza. The next day, you can leave your bike in the car while you go for your trail run.

PART 2 - The run around the Aiguilles de Bavella

Start/Finish

Col de Bavella

Distance

13km

Elevation gain

+828m

Time

Difficulty

3/5*

Physical & technical

The Tour des Aiguilles de Bavella is a 13 km trail with a positive elevation gain of 800 meters. It is one of the most beautiful sections of the GR20. The ascent is quite demanding in terms of both physical effort and technical skills; don’t expect to be able to run the entire time. Take the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding landscape, as a few breaks will be necessary to appreciate the magnificent scenery formed by the various peaks of the beautiful island.

I advise you to check the weather carefully before doing this itinerary. In foggy conditions, visibility can be limited, and temperatures can drop rapidly at higher altitudes. You will cover the majority of the positive elevation gain during this first part, which accounts for about 1/4 of the entire tour.

Then, you will transition to the descent, which is quite technical in the first part with large rocks. Be careful of your ankles! The rest of the descent takes you through the heart of the forest, where you can catch your breath and enjoy the flat terrain that lies ahead for a few kilometers. However, be cautious of the foliage that may hide roots or rocks. With accumulated fatigue, your legs may become heavy, and it will be increasingly difficult to lift your feet. That’s how I ended up on my back!

The end, with a slight positive elevation, is noticeable as you catch sight of the road to Col de Bavella that you climbed earlier in the day.

Enjoy this final effort before getting some energy back at L’Auberge du Col de Bavella and getting back on your bike or simply continuing your journey.

This mix of gravel riding and trail running is an excellent way to discover the Aiguilles de Bavella from various perspectives.

However, you can adapt the itinerary according to your preferences and choose to follow only the stage of the GR20. The access is straightforward from the parking lot located at the top of the pass.
