Karting de la Gravona

In Tavaco, in Corse-du-Sud, Karting de la Gravona (Karting di a Gravona in Corsican) sets up its outdoor track in the Gravona valley, right next to Ajaccio. The site sits in a Mediterranean setting typical of the Corsican mid-mountain : maquis, olive groves, chestnut forests, the first foothills of the central Corsican massif. It's one of the reference karting addresses for Ajaccio residents heading out with friends and Corse-du-Sud holidaymakers looking for an outdoor motorsport activity.

The open-air layout extends across about 600 metres and offers a rhythmic course that lets you work on lines and braking in the open setting of the Gravona valley. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver profile, from entry-level models for kids to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. Conditions shift with Mediterranean weather : faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy or windy autumn days. The site welcomes family initiation runs, birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate evenings for Corsicans and Ajaccio coast holidaymakers.

Tavaco is 25 minutes from Ajaccio, 1h30 from Bonifacio, and 2h30 from Bastia. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Ajaccio (Napoleon Bonaparte's birthplace) and the Bonaparte house, the Ajaccio citadel, the Fesch palace (Beaux-Arts museum), the Sanguinaires islands accessible by boat, Ajaccio coast beaches (Porticcio, Pointe de la Parata), or a detour to the UNESCO-listed Piana Calanques or Bonifacio and its emblematic cliffs. An undeniable karting option for Corse-du-Sud holidaymakers between two beach days, in the unique Mediterranean setting of the Île de Beauté.
