Departure from Pietracorbara (Haute-Corse)
A superb circular walk above Ponticellu, in the municipality of Pietracorbara. The first section passes through the village before heading into woodland to reach Oreta and Selmace. You then move into the second section, which alternates between woodland and maquis. There are two very beautiful Genoese bridges, with a deep pool beneath the first one that’s ideal for a swim. In many places, you can enjoy magnificent views of the cirque that surrounds the area.

Departure from Barbaggio (Haute-Corse)
Starting from Barbaggio town hall (heading downhill), the Chjassu Napuleone crosses the village before entering a forest, where you can see old agricultural gardens on either side of the path. The richness of this route continues when you take the "imperial road" that gave the trail its name. Before becoming emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have walked this road.
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.
