A magnificent hike, very well signposted . Once you reach the village of Occi, the signposting to Capu d'Occi is not great, so you need to pay attention.
The climb to Capu is well marked and the end requires caution, especially if you have children with you.
The view from the top is superb. The descent is great. The path winds down the other side to the starting point.
The trail ends on the opposite side from where it starts, allowing you to cross the beautiful village of Lumio.

A beautiful hike, with a little more difficulty
for the ascent, unlike the descent.
I met a pair of hikers who were going in the opposite direction to the suggested route. The descent is more dangerous, so it's better to follow the suggested route

A lovely hike that takes two hours. The route is easy until you reach the village of Occi. Then you enter the Corsican maquis, where you may get a few scratches on your calves. The Visorando app helps you correct any minor navigation errors. The end of the climb is more rugged, but not really a problem for experienced hikers. The descent is on a wider, well-marked trail.

Thank you for all your comments. I haven't done the walk again this year, but I will update it next year in June. I'm going to change the difficulty from easy to moderate. Enjoy your walk. Eric

Classified as an easy hike... we are two very athletic young people and would have rated this one as moderate to difficult in some places. The markings are old and the trails are narrow, with vegetation sometimes taking over.
There are lots of large rocks to climb over.
Otherwise, very pretty views, pleasant but uneven hike!

A very beautiful hike with well-maintained paths.
Please note that during the summer season, free guided tours are organised every Tuesday at 9.30 a.m. from the church in the village of Occi.
There are beautiful views all along the hike.

Not so easy, very narrow path on the climb, slightly technical section at the top and very exposed descent in the sun. Bring plenty of water

A must-do! Stunning all the way, both on the sea side and behind. The estimated climbing time is somewhat underestimated as the path is not always easy to follow (dense scrub and markers sometimes difficult to see). The route is very exposed to the sun, so avoid hot weather!

While the first part of the hike is pleasant and the descriptions are reliable (from Lumio to the ruins of Occi and even, if necessary, to the threshing floor), I strongly advise against going beyond the ruins via the route described in Visorando. The scrub has taken over and it is impassable in places. The so-called red markings in the description are non-existent, and we had to turn back 200 metres further on because the path no longer exists, there is only impassable scrub, which is very dangerous. Even when trying to retrace our steps, we almost got lost.
People should not be sent there, as there is a risk of injury and of getting lost.
I spoke to a Corsican sportsman from Lumio, who told me not to go there. It is by no means an easy hike.
To continue past the ruins, take the wide path that branches off to the right of the ruins, towards the Grotte de la Vierge (which Visorando should indicate by quickly correcting this entry). For my part, I would have appreciated having this comment before our hike, as it would have saved us a lot of stress..

Hike done with two children aged 8 and 6. We started directly with a 40-minute climb to reach the village. Follow the instructions and the route carefully to find the path to the pass, as it is not very well marked, perhaps because of the time of year, but we had to push through quite a few brambles... It's still quite a climb, but the views are splendid. The last few metres to the pass are very steep and quite difficult to navigate with children. The descent is relatively long. In my opinion, the easy level is underestimated for Sunday hikers like us with children 😅 Bring water as there is little shade!

A parish-specific to Brittany, very beautiful hike with stunning views of the sea and ruins. But be warned, in our opinion as Sunday hikers, it should not be classified as "easy". It's a steep climb! And according to our Apple Watch, the route is 6.11 km (and our car was before the end of the loop) and not 4.65 km. Fortunately, we are quite fit and took 2½ hours. But it's something to bear in mind.
The hike is quite busy up to the ruins, and after that, it's quiet.

The start is actually behind and next to the restaurant. Concrete ramp (sign at the end of the street for those who get lost like us). Frequented >>. Occi village. The rest is a little difficult to find between rocks and stone walls in a corner at the top of the village on the church side, but then very well marked.
Steep and thorny scrub: long trousers and sleeves are useful. The climb under the last rocks is a little daunting but not dangerous. The pass and summit are easy. The descent is pleasant but the track crosses and recrosses the normal path between stone walls. Follow the GPS carefully
We recommend
