Corscia walks
Circular Monte Cinto
This circular will take you to the highest point in Corsica.
It is a difficult hike, but it offers unrivalled views of the surrounding area.
The transhumance trail of the ancient Scala di Santa Regina
A magical hike along the Scala di Santa Regina, in the heart of Corsica, on the D84 linking Ponte Castirla to Calacuccia. This is a fairly well-preserved transhumance trail featuring stone walls and numerous stone steps to help you navigate the few challenging sections of the route. The view over the Scala Santa Regina valley, where the Golo river winds its way through, is spectacular.
Corsica Stage 3: Albertacce to Col de Vergio
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.
Viru-Golo loop starting from Albertacce
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.
Corsica Stage 2: Refuge de A Sega to Albertacce
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.
Les Bergeries de Ballone
A short climb to the Bergeries de Ballone, nestled in a superb mountain setting. A short hike, taking half a day.
The Antia circular loop
This circular route starts on the Mare a Mare Nord trail and allows you to return near the Tavignanu River. You will discover wonderful swimming spots, including Lake Antia, which offers a 40-metre swim, just a few metres off the trail.
Corsica Stage 1: Corte to the Refuge de Sega
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.
Corsica between the mountains and the sea
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.
Arcu di u Scandulaghiu or the Arch of Corte
The Arche de Corte or Arche de Padule (referring to the sheepfolds located higher up) or Arcu di Scandulaghiu (in Corsican) is a granite sculpture located at an altitude of 1,500 metres, overlooking the Tavignano valley. The Arche is located between the citadel of Corte and the Calacuccia dam.
Restonica Gorges to Tuani
An accessible and refreshing hike in the heart of the Restonica Gorges. The trail, almost entirely shaded, immerses you in a magnificent setting: cliffs, forests and spectacular panoramas follow one another along the way. And to top off the experience, natural pools ideal for a refreshing swim await you.
The Riviseccu Sheepfolds (Rivisecco)
These sheepfolds, which are in very good condition, mark the end of a forest area. The group of sheepfolds forms a small hamlet of several well-restored huts. The surroundings are magnificent, with large rock formations and the Riviseccu stream.
Shaded throughout, the route follows an old forest track that climbs gradually through a forest where beech trees are omnipresent, in contrast to the Laricio pine trees along the stream.
Lakes Mélo and Capitello in Restonica
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.
From Frasseta to the Melu and Capitellu lakes via Grotelle
U chjassu di i lavi
The beautiful lakes of Melu and Capitellu are still accessible. It is now a challenging hike. Take on the challenge and your efforts will be rewarded!
The former starting point for this hike, from the Grotelle sheepfolds, is no longer accessible by vehicle due to the significant damage caused by storms Ciaran and Domingos. The starting point is now at the Frasseta bridge.
From Lake Melo to the Brèche de Capitello
This is a very beautiful hike that allows you to discover the two lakes of Melo and Capitello with a view of the Brèche de Capitello. The view from the breach allows you to discover both sides of the massif.

From Corte to the Chjarasgiolu footbridge via Punta di u Corbu
U Chjassu di San Teofalu
A lovely walk starting from the Saint Antoine chapel in Corte, offering beautiful views of the town and the surrounding area.
Gorges du Tavignano and the Rossolinu footbridge
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).
Lake Oriente and the Timozzu sheepfolds
A challenging hike to one of Corsica’s most beautiful lakes, at an altitude of over 2,000 metres.
Please note: read the latest review dated August 2024.
Monte Cinto
The highest peak in Corsica (2,706 metres) can be reached from the Haut-Asco resort after a difficult climb over rocky terrain reminiscent of the volcanic origins of Monte Cinto. However, from Pointe des Eboulis, continuing on to the highest point, you are rewarded with a spectacular view and a sumptuous panorama. An early start is necessary to avoid the clouds that can cling to the summit.
From the Asco Stagnu refuge to the Tighiettu refuge
Fourth stage ofthe GR®20with the Cirque de la Solitude pass. A place that leaves no one indifferent.
Please note: the facilities for descending and ascending the Cirque de la Solitude have been removed, making this a very challenging route.
