Le test de Piana

Piana whist famous for the most incredible coastal scenery stands 438m above the nearby sea. From the centre of the village there is a road to the Plage d'Arone, the D824 which soon branches off to the right and down to Anse de Ficaghiola.
As you descend just under five kilometres you're likely to give some thought as to how you're going to get yourself backup. Don't worry you have a choice - cycle or walk!
This road is steep and narrow and I urge great caution in the high season. It's best done early or late in the day.
