Soccia at Lake Creno
One of the most beautiful hikes in Corsica. The path is pleasant, with part of it in the woods. The arrival at the lake is a magical moment. The lake appears in a setting, even if there are a few people around, the place is conducive to quiet conversation.
A very beautiful place for a picnic.
Lake Nino from Poppaghia
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.
Monte Rotondo via "u pianu di lu capra Mattoto" from Lavu Bellebone
From the Vecchio valley, the climb to Monte Rotondo (2,622 m), Corsica's second highest peak, offers a 1,600 m elevation gain in a spectacular setting. The trail starts under the Laricio pines, then climbs towards Bocca Tribali (1,590 m), revealing ridges and valleys. Beyond, Lavu Bellebone, a small glacial lake nestled in a mineral cirque, invites you to take a contemplative break. The rest of the climb is steeper, on rocky terrain where you may find yourself out of breath. At the summit, the 360° view takes in the gulfs, peaks and wild soul of Corsica, before you return to the valley.
From Col de Vergio to Lac Nino
A very beautiful hike that allows you to walk along the ridges and discover Lake Nino in a beautiful valley surrounded by stone mountains.
Corsica Stage 5: Col de Vergio to Evisa
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.
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.

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.

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.
Punta di à Vita
An easy hike from Sari d'Orcino to the two Punta di à Vita peaks: one as indicated on the maps, the other as written on the cross at its summit. Much of the trail is marked in yellow as far as Bocca di à Vita.
Aïtone Forest, chestnut grove, waterfalls and pools of Evisa
Along this fairly easy educational walk (with lots of interesting information boards), you will discover the hard life of the farmers of yesteryear in the midst of chestnut and Laricio pine trees. A magical forest where you expect to meet a fairy behind every patch of moss on a rock. Perhaps they have turned into pigs nibbling on chestnuts along the way. Further on, you will walk along the Aïtone with its pools (8°C!) and waterfalls... very popular in summer as it is accessible from a tarmac road. The best time to visit is October/November for the colours and manageable crowds.
Les Pierres Plates and Les Bergeries de Tolla
A beautiful, easy hike along theGR®20. After the Bergeries de Tolla, the 500-metre-long granite slab at an altitude of around 1,100 metres is a wonderful place for a picnic and a nap. There are trees for shade. You need to walk about 50 metres to the left (uphill) ofthe GR®20to see the slab and the waterfalls.
The "hanging gardens" in the middle of the waterfalls are truly beautiful.
The English Waterfall
Easy family hike along a well-marked, shaded trail. Accessible to anyone who is able to walk. Trout river, pure water, pools, waterfalls.
Circular Bocca Palmente starting from Vizzavona
Pleasant and relatively easy hike. Well-marked trail, steady and moderate slopes, no danger. The walk is almost entirely in the shade of a pine and beech forest. Perfect for a first outing in the mountains or a slightly adventurous family walk.
From Evisa to Porto
For this last stage, as soon as you leave Evisa, take the discovery trail and descend the beautiful Spelunca Gorges. After the Genoese bridge at Pianella, you will arrive at the beautiful village of Ota and descend towards the marina at Porto.
The Tolla sheepfold and the Meli waterfall
Waterfall hikes in a magical mountain setting. This beautiful and varied hike through the Manganello Valley is suitable for all.
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.
The Spelunca Gorges and the Zaglia Bridge from a bridge over the Porto
This route is shaded, making it ideal on hot days! It is suitable for children, who will enjoy playing in the water afterwards.
When you start the hike after the bridge over the Porto River, you will see signs indicating that the route is closed due to bad weather. These signs are old and there is no problem until the bridge. Apparently, there are landslides on the path after the Zaglia bridge towards Evisa.
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.
Sant'Eliseu Chapel, mountain areas with shepherds' trails
A lovely hike combining pastoral surroundings and mountain atmosphere, with beautiful views of the east coast.
Discovering the mills of Cuttoli
A beautiful, short walk to discover old mills.
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.
Mont d'Aragnascu loop
This is a great hike, best done in the morning. Superb views of the Prunelli and Gravone valleys. No difficulties, very well marked route in yellow.
Pozzi via the Lacs de Rina from Ghisoni
This is a magnificent hike that has never been done before, as there is a section that is not listed. The trail starts halfway to the Ghisoni ski resort via a shortcut that leads onto the famous GR®20. This route offers a wide variety of landscapes and vegetation, including fir and beech forests, scrubland, rocky areas, lakes, rivers, animals, sheepfolds and the famous pozzi, which are magnificent in this location. These are pools of water in the green grass that form natural basins, connected by small river veins in the grass. The outward journey is via the Lacs de Rina, and the return via the GR®20. There are a few tough, steep sections, but all in all, it's not a very difficult hike, and well worth the effort.
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.
Punta San Sisto from Appietto
A very beautiful hike a few kilometres from Ajaccio with magnificent views of the surrounding gulfs and peaks. This walk combines part of the PR® trail between Appietto and Calcatoggio, a magnificent walk along the ridges and numerous points of interest such as the ruins of an old chapel, a dolmen and a stone castle!
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).
Rocher des Gozzi and Punta Pastinaca in Apietto
This hike on the outskirts of Ajaccio leads to the Rocher des Gozzi, a red granite cliff, at the top of which there is an exceptional view of the Gulf of Lava, then Ajaccio with its airport and the points of Isulella, Castagna and Capu di Muru, and the Gravone valley.
From Punta Pastinaca, the view is completed to the east by the magnificent view of Monte Rotondo, Monte d'Oro and Monte Renoso and the Gravone valley.
Monte Gozzi
A short walk to enjoy with the family early in the morning, offering magnificent views of Ajaccio Bay and the Gulf of Lava.
I Pozzi at the start of the Val d'Ese
Discover the Pozzi du Renosu, one of Corsica's most remarkable geological gems, on a circular route redesigned for your comfort. This hike will take you to a vast high-altitude plateau where intense green lawns are dotted with a myriad of sparkling water holes, a direct legacy of the last ice age. We offer an alternative departure point that avoids the steep climb up the ski slope in favour of a more gradual and pleasant path.
Pozzines (I Pozzi) and Lake Vitalaca
From the Val d'Ese station, set off to discover an unexpected landscape in Corsica: the Pozzines. This hike also offers magnificent views of Monte Renoso and Lake Vitalaca. You are sure to come across herds of sheep and cattle grazing in this area.
