A beautiful circular walk, mostly along the coast, offering magnificent views of the cliffs of Bonifacio on the way there and back over the Gulf of Ventilegne. This is particularly recommended on windy days when the waves break on the rocky chaos of Cap de Feno with Sardinia in the background. The hike starts at the Hermitage of the Trinity, a place to visit for contemplation with a Way of the Cross on mercy. Plan to go swimming in the wild coves.

The Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve.

This very easy short hike starts in Monaccia-d'Aullène and follows the heritage trail, which leads to the Mesolithic Orii, which have had many uses over time (farming, livestock breeding, bandit hideouts, resistance, etc.). The circuit also features old mill buildings. __Please note__: although easy, this loop is not suitable for children or people with reduced mobility.

This is a round-trip hike that leads to a summit at an altitude of 1,217 metres. At the end of the climb, rising up from a jumble of black granite, stands the Uomo di Cagna, a balancing rock formation. The summit plateau offers a beautiful view of the southern coastline.

The empty beach of Erbaghu is probably one of the most beautiful in Corsica and, incidentally, an extraordinary example of tafunate erosion. Return via the Rocapine Tower.

A short walk to the abandoned village of Pruna. The highlight is undoubtedly the 180° view of the mouth of the Gulf of Porto Vecchio and the tip of San Ciprianu, just opposite.

Short circular walk through the Corsican scrubland leading to the old sheepfold of Paccialu di a Sarra, then to Punta di Pitone (577m) where there is a beautiful view of the village of Giuncheto, the Ortolu valley and the Cagna mountain.

The 360° views from the summit over the bay of Porto-Vecchio, the Ospedale dam and the Alta Rocca are well worth the final climb, which is short but quite tough. The loop starts near the Cartalavonu lodge, Le Refuge.

A short climb to a megalithic site in very good condition. For lovers of prehistoric remains, with the added bonus of a superb view of the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio.

Walk along San Ciprianu Beach with the climb up to Punta d'Arasu. This walk takes you along the beach side of the lagoon called the lido to Punta d'Arasu, returning via the marshes.

Hike through the beautiful Tizzano area to the Senetosa lighthouse.

In French, cascade du pin, this is one of the seven wonders of the Alta Rocca. It's a truly beautiful 70-metre waterfall.

A short climb of an hour and a half there and back through the scrubland and a beautiful forest of holm oaks to the ruins of the village of A Chjava. The path is very rugged at the start but ends with a pretty trail through the undergrowth. A Chjava is a small hamlet of about ten houses, built in the 17th century and abandoned in the following century. Located in the municipality of Tivolaggio, it still has some beautiful remains, evidence of its wealth at the time of its construction.

Starting from Campomoro, this circular hike is not difficult. Running along the coast, rocky landscapes give way to coves and inlets. At Cala d'Aguglia (the southernmost point of the route), where calm reigns, it is worth stopping to admire this cove that stretches inland and enjoy its beautiful beach. The return journey takes you inland through the scrubland with beautiful views of the coast and finally the Gulf of Propriano.
