Capo d’Ortu, Piana
A challenge, possibly the most unique summit in Corsica.
Tavignano Gorge
A firm favourite with locals and tourists, the Tavignano is a spectacular mule path from Corte’s heart.
Lac de Nino from Vergio – GR20
Lac de Nino is a magical place, and this walk takes part of the GR20
Bocca di Cuccavera, Evisa
Less trodden than the Aitone valley, this is a circular walk that has a little bit of everything from beautiful pine tree forests, and views of the west coast of Corsica.
Campomoro – I Pozzi – Canussedu – Agulia, Campomoro
Great coastal walking with lots of possibilites, from a short stroll to a long day hike, coastal walking to please all !
Scala di Santa Regina, Calacuccia
The Scala was the transhumance route for shepherds into the Niolu, This is a great walk any time of year into the heart of Corsica.
Sentier des Douaniers, St Florent to Lodu
Another great coastal walk, take care in hot weather as there is little shade. The tower at Mortella was partially destroyed by a bombardement by the British fleet. So impressed by the structure, Nelson suggested the building of MORTELLLO towers on the south coast of England.
Tour d’Olmeto to Roccapina, Monacia d’Aullène / Sartene
An easy coastal stroll. After the short walk to the Olmeto tower, which is well trodden, the rest of this coastal walk is quiet and the beaches untouched.
Le Chemin du Facteur, Osani
A classic coastal walk into the remote seaside hamlet of GIROLATA. Very popular with walkers, it is in all the guidebooks and it is best to avoid this one in high season. It is a hot walk, but can be shortened by taking the boat out of GIROLATA instead.
Vallée du Golu, Vergio
This is a short walk that will take you into the GOLU valley. You will see hikers on the famous GR20 two week trail heading to their next refuge. There is a shepherd’s cabin called RADULE, the GOLU river and a beautiful pine tree forest.
Campomoro to Senetosa / Senetosa to Tizzano, Sartene
Wonderful coastal walking, the walk takes in the most unspoilt stretch of coastline in Corsica, between the villages of Campomoro and Tizzano.
