Lumio walks

A very useful alternative in hot (or very hot) weather, this walk largely follows the classic route from Lumio to Occi (a ruined village above Lumio). This short walk still allows you to enjoy magnificent views of the Bay of Calvi and the village of Lumio in a short space of time if you don't want to walk too far.

At an altitude of 377 m above Lumio lies the ruined village of Occi. In the 15th century, it was inhabited by people who had deserted the coast to flee the Saracens. The 17th and 18th centuries saw the decline of the village. Occi was attached to Lumio in 1852. Felice Giudicelli, known as Fra Felice, the last inhabitant, died there on 22 November 1918. The 15th-century Baroque church of the Annunziata was rebuilt from its ruins (the work was partly financed by Laetitia Casta).

An easy short hike that passes through the abandoned village of Occi to Capu Bracajo before descending to Lumio. A place steeped in history that you can visit while walking along a pretty trail.

This hike is an extension of the classic walk to the abandoned village of Occi above Lumio. It offers a panoramic view of the Balagne region from the summit of Capu d'Occi.The entire circuit is well marked and alternates between paths, scrubland and rocks.The section from the abandoned village of Occi to the summit of Capu d'Occi is marked with orange dots. I would not recommend this section for young children, and it is essential to take water with you.

A very pleasant short hike between the maquis and the seaside. Apart from the section through San Ambrogio, the trail is very pleasant and offers beautiful views of the citadel of Calvi and Pointe de la Revelata.

A lovely little walk along the trails of Balagne with beautiful views. Between Pigna and San Antoninu. Pleasant in early autumn. No particular difficulty except for the slightly steep climb between the convent and Mont Sant Angelo.

An easy walk below the village of Felicito: typical mule tracks; two pretty Genoese bridges; a swimming spot; beautiful views of the surrounding mountains of Balagne.

The Pointe de la Revellata is a fairly easy but quite long walk. It takes a little over 3 hours there and back. Wear good shoes and be careful of the strong sun in summer.This is a lovely hike, not to be missed if you are staying in Calvi, offering magnificent views of the citadel of Calvi.The site is home to rare, endemic and protected plant species, the most emblematic of which is Armeria soleirolii.

A family loop combining swimming and hiking. Set off to explore nature in the heart of the Bonifatu massif. Avoid in case of flood risk. The start of the Ficaghjola loop is at the bottom of the car park; first descend to the riverbank, then cross a footbridge before climbing up to the heights.

A very easy hike starting from the Bonifatu Forest House allows those who do not want to or cannot do one of the many more technical hikes starting from this magnificent spot to discover a preserved natural area. The walk follows the valley floor and is not difficult, but it offers beautiful views of the surrounding peaks with the possibility of swimming in the river below. However, access can sometimes be a little tricky.

This round-trip hike follows a section ofthe GR®20from Bonifatu. It takes you to the impressive Spasimata footbridge.

Rated as a 4-hour hike by the ONF and part of the red route network in the Bonifatu forest, the Finochi circular crosses scrubland and pine forest. The route is shaded in the morning when taken in the direction shown, is suitable for all ages and is clearly marked with red signs.

One can only admire the tremendous work of man carving a beautifully paved path along these narrow valleys to connect the villages or access the mills. Stone is everywhere, both on the trail and in the village of Mausoléo. The Tartagine invites you to swim or cool off. As for the bridges, what harmonious curves! An unmissable hike.

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.

While exploring the Agriates from Saint-Florent is a classic route, approaching the western part from Ostriconi beach is just as interesting and much less travelled. Here, the landscapes are breathtaking and walking is the only way to access a coastline untouched by human intervention.

A beautiful hike that allows you to discover some stunning beaches, starting with Ostriconi beach. After this beach, take the coastal path, which is the start of the Agriate Desert tour, and head back up to Acciolu Bay. There are several beautiful coves along the way.

A short circuit in the Agriates Desert with little elevation gain, some shaded areas and a refreshing breeze from the sea. Pretty trails with beautiful views of the Agriates Desert and the sea. Shaded areas on the first few kilometres. The distance covered can be adjusted as desired by continuing along the path beyond Cala di Vana.

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.

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.
