Description of the walk

Park in the centre of the village, where there are several car parks.

(S/E) From the starting point, take the small road downhill (Via Rossa). Ignore the small roads on the left and continue to the T-junction, then turn left.

(1) At the next junction, keep to the right, walking alongside the houses until you reach the vineyards. Continue along the dirt track between the vineyards, heading south-south-west. On your left are the hills between Oletta and the Teghime Pass, and on your right is Monte San'Angelo.

(2) Continue straight ahead until you reach a small paved road.

(3) Take the hairpin bend to the right. Pass the entrance to the Leccia estate and walk about 300 m to reach a four-way crossroads.

(4) Take the dirt track on the right that crosses the vineyards.

(5) Continue straight ahead. On your left is Monte San'Angelo.

(6) You will come to a section of tarmac road; keep to the left. Continue to the intersection with another road, right next to the Orenga de Gaffory estate on your left.

(7) Turn right onto the road going uphill. At the end of the hill, at the road junction, turn left to return to the starting point (S/E).

A lovely walk through the vineyards. The only slight downside is that there is a lot of tarmac.

Pleasant setting among the vineyards, relaxing and peaceful.

With an extension to pass by the foot of the church
the vineyard and the views of the rocky mountains are very beautiful and make a change from the usual hikes in Corsica

A varied walk with almost no elevation gain.
the tour of the vineyard is nice. We extended it by passing by the open-air theatre (which was in the midst of preparations for the festival) and the church.
(Best done when our winegrower friends are not treating their vines.)

Ideal for a morning jog surrounded by colourful vineyards, views of the surrounding mountains and the scent of the sea in the distance... After that, the route isn't particularly "attractive" but it's nice for a leisurely stroll. What's more, there's hardly anyone around at this time of year, so it's perfect

Thank you

I agree with what was said earlier about the fact that a large part of the hike is on roads.
I was expecting a walk that was closer to nature.
As mentioned in the description, it is best to do this route in the morning or late afternoon as there is no shade, or out of season when it is cooler.

A very beautiful, easy walk to get to know this famous region. During hot weather, it's best to go in the morning or evening! There are many opportunities to cut the walk short on the way back if you find it too long. For our part, we did the whole walk to really soak up the vineyards in their natural setting before going to taste their fermented juice in bottles. We are beginning to see the efforts being made to move towards organic farming.
@ Phil Decr:
- it would be helpful to have discreet signage at changes in direction, if possible, as this would avoid having to consult the GPS frequently.
Thank you for this walk.

The trail can also be taken in the opposite direction (uphill), starting from the bridge at the intersection of Strada San Petru and Strada Napuleone. If you are only doing a one-way trip, i.e. not returning, remember to leave one car at the starting point and another at the end.

The Chjassu Maria Gentile is a pretty walking loop connecting the neighbouring villages of Poggio d'Oletta and Oletta. The route offers rich and varied landscapes: villages, scrubland, oak forests, streams... Its name is a tribute to Maria Gentile, a young heroine of the area who became a symbol of courage when, in 1769, at the age of just 20, she defied French soldiers who had sentenced the inhabitants of Oletta to death for plotting a conspiracy. Maria Gentile's fiancé, like his companions, was sentenced to death and executed without the right to a burial. Maria, refusing to abandon her fiancé's body, decided to defy the ban and, at nightfall, set out to recover it and give him a proper burial. Since then, Maria Gentile has been considered the Antigone of Corsica.
