Out of this world walk, beach to beach, towards the lighthouse at PERTUSATO with magnificent clifftop views. Great out of season but not for the feint hearted !

Capu di Zivia to Golfe de Murtoli, Sartene
A little rough around the edges but a great coastal walk around this unspoilt headland.
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.
Piana to Bocca di Piazza, Piana
A lovely loop walk, especially out of season. The walk goes through a variety of landscapes that will surprise you.
La Testa to Ventilegne, Figari
An easy going flat walk along the south western coast of the island, with surprising landscapes. La Testa is an unspoilt area full of wild beaches, protected by the Conservatoire du Littorale. You will see traces of the pastoral history of the area and take your binoculars if you are a twitcher.
La Trinité to Fenu, Bonifacio
A good loop walk around a wild stretch of coast, you’ll enjoy this walk for the good views and the sense of away from it all just a short hop from the bustle of Bonifacio.
Sant Antonino to Occi and Lumio
From the perched hill village of SANT ANTONINO, this walk crosses through the garden of Corsica following easy paths and lanes. Towards the end of the walk you discover the abandoned village of OCCI, before diving down to LUMIO with its panoramic view over Calvi bay.
Sentier des Douaniers, Maccinaggio
Follow the Customs officers path or ‘chemin des douaniers’ around the remote Cap Corse, along which you pass naturally preserved beaches and abandoned watchtowers witness to the battles that were fought for this island. The walking is captivating through a wild and natural landscape, and you can catch a boat (MAY TO SEPT) at end of the day to MACCINAGGIO.
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 Roccapina to Erbaju, Sartene
A lovely coastal walk through lush maquis to the tower at ROCCAPINA and the beach at ERBAJU.
Col de la Croix to Bussaghia, Osani / Porto
This is quite simply a fabulous, relatively secret (ssshhh) coastal walk along the GOLFE DE PORTO. You have to keep your eyes on the terrain, which is sometimes steep sea cliffs – not ideal for those with vertigo, but the views are sublime out over the Golfe.
