Punta di San Martinu, Eccica-Suarella
Another “off the beaten track” walk this time from the village of Eccica. The route follows the MONTICCHI gorge.
Le Gozzi, Appietto
A popular walk from Ajaccio.
La Rocca & L’Arche de Cauro, Cauro
A short “off the beaten track” walk to a rocky summit and a stone arch, not far from Ajaccio. We have since doing this walk been advised that the trail crosses private land and the route is therefore out of bounds.
Monte San Petru, Petreto-Bicchisano
A contemplative summit walk, with views over the whole of southern Corsica.
Punta San Sistu, Appietto
Another short but perfectly formed “off the beaten track” summit on Ajaccio’s doorstep.
Le Sommet, Ajaccio
A short but perfectly formed “off the beaten track” summit on Ajaccio’s doorstep.
Tour de Frassu, Porticcio
A short but sharp hike above the coastal resort of Porticcio, to a tower that was destroyed by Turkish pirates in the 16th Century.
Les Crêtes, Ajaccio
A walk along the mountain ridge LES CRÊTES that dominates the city and GULF OF AJACCIO, this is a firm favourite with locals.
Tour de Capanelle, Serra di Ferro
This is a great “Sunday afternoon” hike, the path runs along the coast past creeks of fine sand to the tower.
Capu di Muro, Coti Chiavari
A tower, a lighthouse, a chapel, a farmstead, a maquis covered, windswept headland, a superb picnic spot, just a short drive from Ajaccio “wild and free” walking at its best.
Mont Aragnascu, Cuttoli-Corticiatto
A small but perfectly formed summit for a birdseye view of the Golfe d’Ajaccio.
