For the 2025 edition of the Kien Tour, we have arranged one of the most spectacular starting locations yet. On the morning of September 8th, we will kick off the tour at Villa Kimera, near the city of Cuneo in Italy. A unique and exclusive start that you don’t want to miss! Villa Kimera is home to the impressive car brand Kimera Automobili, known for transforming classic Lancias into modern, brutal sports cars with a soul. During our visit, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast together and get an exclusive tour of the estate and production facility. This is a chance to admire some of the rarest cars in the world up close, an experience you won’t soon forget. After our visit to Kimera, we will head through the breathtaking Piedmont inland and head towards the port of Savona, where we will take the ferry to Corsica! This beautiful French island almost exudes an Italian atmosphere and is known for its rugged landscapes, excellent wines and warm hospitality. Our crossing will take place at night, but don't worry: everyone will have a comfortable and well-kept private room on board. Before we board the ferry, we will end our first day in style with an aperitivo and delicious Italian snacks. An extensive dinner is not possible this evening due to time, but you will have to look forward to that!

On the morning of September 9th we arrive at the port of Bastia, where we immediately experience the atmosphere of Corsica. Our first stop is a local restaurant, where we get to know the flavors of the Corsican cuisine during an extensive brunch. With a well-filled stomach it is time to explore the island! We set the navigation and drive towards our first overnight location. Along the route we enjoy the first winding roads and the impressive views that make Corsica so special.

Our stay in Corsica is not just about relaxing, there is so much to discover! This island is not called the Italy of France for nothing. This is not only due to the excellent wines and the refined cuisine, but also to the unparalleled hospitality of the local population. Of course, we are driving a tour, and that means that we prefer exciting, winding roads instead of the boring straight highways. Corsica seems to have been designed especially for car enthusiasts: the landscape is a series of bends, differences in altitude and spectacular views. Of course, we will not use the roads as a race track, but we will intensely enjoy the challenging routes, the mountain passes and the breathtaking panoramas. 

One of the highlights of our tour is the Col de Bavella, an impressive mountain range in the south of Corsica. This area is known for its dramatic rock formations, rugged gorges and dense forests. We will ride a spectacular route that takes us along steep slopes and sharp hairpin bends, with numerous photogenic stops along the way. For the more adventurous among us, there is even the opportunity to take a short walk to an impressive viewpoint.
