Avapessa walks

An easy walk below the village of Felicito: typical mule tracks; two pretty Genoese bridges; a swimming spot; beautiful views of the surrounding mountains of Balagne.

A very useful alternative in hot (or very hot) weather, this walk largely follows the classic route from Lumio to Occi (a ruined village above Lumio). This short walk still allows you to enjoy magnificent views of the Bay of Calvi and the village of Lumio in a short space of time if you don't want to walk too far.

An easy short hike that passes through the abandoned village of Occi to Capu Bracajo before descending to Lumio. A place steeped in history that you can visit while walking along a pretty trail.

One can only admire the tremendous work of man carving a beautifully paved path along these narrow valleys to connect the villages or access the mills. Stone is everywhere, both on the trail and in the village of Mausoléo. The Tartagine invites you to swim or cool off. As for the bridges, what harmonious curves! An unmissable hike.

This round-trip hike follows a section ofthe GR®20from Bonifatu. It takes you to the impressive Spasimata footbridge.

A very easy hike starting from the Bonifatu Forest House allows those who do not want to or cannot do one of the many more technical hikes starting from this magnificent spot to discover a preserved natural area. The walk follows the valley floor and is not difficult, but it offers beautiful views of the surrounding peaks with the possibility of swimming in the river below. However, access can sometimes be a little tricky.

The Pointe de la Revellata is a fairly easy but quite long walk. It takes a little over 3 hours there and back. Wear good shoes and be careful of the strong sun in summer.This is a lovely hike, not to be missed if you are staying in Calvi, offering magnificent views of the citadel of Calvi.The site is home to rare, endemic and protected plant species, the most emblematic of which is Armeria soleirolii.

A beautiful hike that allows you to discover some stunning beaches, starting with Ostriconi beach. After this beach, take the coastal path, which is the start of the Agriate Desert tour, and head back up to Acciolu Bay. There are several beautiful coves along the way.

A short circuit in the Agriates Desert with little elevation gain, some shaded areas and a refreshing breeze from the sea. Pretty trails with beautiful views of the Agriates Desert and the sea. Shaded areas on the first few kilometres. The distance covered can be adjusted as desired by continuing along the path beyond Cala di Vana.

This third stage takes us to the Col de Vergio, the highest point of the day, which marks the start of the descent to Porto. We will pass by the beautiful Radule waterfall and its pools, which are perfect for swimming.

Loop starting from the Genoese bridge at Albertacce, first following the Viru, a tributary of the Golo, to the Moulin de Muricciolu, then a pretty balcony path above the Golo to the footbridge over the Golo.

After our break at the Col de Vergio, we head back towards the sea. During this stage, we will cross the beautiful Aîtone forest with its swimming pools and paved paths in some places.

A very beautiful hike that allows you to walk along the ridges and discover Lake Nino in a beautiful valley surrounded by stone mountains.

An ascent to a high-altitude lake in a beautiful mountain setting. A varied route that starts in a pine forest, continues through rocky terrain and ends in the middle of pastures. This hike is an alternative to the much more popularGR®20route, which starts at the Col de Vergio.

Second day of the hike between Corte and Porto. The trail begins by climbing up to Bocca Arinella, where we discover our destination: after Lake Calacuccia, the village of Albertacce.

One of the most beautiful hikes on the west coast. It allows you to discover the Gulf of Girolata from the mountains. Many visitors arrive by boat, which drops tourists off on the beach for half an hour. This route takes you along the coast, where you can discover the gulf, the fort and the beach as you turn the corner. Take the time to explore Girolata, see the narrow streets and have a picnic on the beaches behind Girolata.

This hike is a variation (in terms of the route and starting point) of the Mare à Mare Nord. We set off from Corte, a very pretty town, and arrived at the Gulf of Porto. We stopped at the Refuge de Sega, the Gite d'Albertacce, the Col de Vergio (where we stayed for two days to explore Lake Nino) and Evisa before arriving in Porto.

First stage of the hike from Corte to the sea, at Marine de Porto. This first day is a steady climb up to the Refuge de A Sega.

The Tavignano Valley is one of Corsica's most beautiful mountain valleys. It offers a deep, rocky gorge with numerous pools, and above all, the valley is a hiker's kingdom. From Corte, only a well-preserved old mule track leads into the wild Tavignano Gorge. At the Passerelle di u Russulinu, you'll find pools in the torrent, guaranteed to cool you down in hot weather like this year (2017).

A magnificent and unmissable hike. Caution: the passage of ladders and cables before Lac Melo and the descent of this section may prove difficult for those not accustomed to using this equipment and also to stony paths. 20/05/2024: Hike modified. The Restonica valley is no longer accessible by car! The start is now at the last stop served by the shuttle bus(Pont de Frasseta). See practical information.
