Manso walks

Circular hike in the Bonifatu Forest starting from the inn (paid parking in season). Less frequented than the other routes. Shady forest trail, the view is often blocked by vegetation but there is a beautiful view at Bocca di Bonassa.

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.

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 short circular route in the heart of the Bonifatu National Forest is perfect for exploring the area in a short space of time. The route passes by the ruins of Prince Pierre Bonaparte's castle and offers shaded passages. The route is marked in green.

The Bonifatu Territorial Forest has a multitude of trails. The Candia circular, marked in purple, is ideal for a short walk. Starting in the direction suggested here, you can finish by relaxing in the river. Perfect for families or beginners. Very shady.

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

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.

This is a moderately difficult circular route, but you will need to wear suitable footwear. Two-thirds of the route is uphill, and the descent is a little "leg-breaking" and requires caution. You will find yourself in the heart of the Bonifatu massif, where the views are sublime. You can take in the landscapes at the start ofthe GR®20with views of the Ortu di u piobbu and Carrozzu mountain huts.

Fifth stage ofthe GR®20, pushing on to the Col de Vergio, we are doing two 6-hour stages rather than one 4-hour and one 8-hour stage, and we will be using the accommodation at the Col de Vergio.

The third stage ofthe GR®20is a beautiful climb through scree. And magnificent orange lilies add colour to the mountain.

Fourth stage ofthe GR®20with the Cirque de la Solitude pass. A place that leaves no one indifferent. Please note: the facilities for descending and ascending the Cirque de la Solitude have been removed, making this a very challenging route.

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.

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.

One of the most beautiful hikes on the west coast. It allows you to discover the Gulf of Girolata from the mountains. Many visitors arrive by boat, which drops tourists off on the beach for half an hour. This route takes you along the coast, where you can discover the gulf, the fort and the beach as you turn the corner. Take the time to explore Girolata, see the narrow streets and have a picnic on the beaches behind Girolata.

View of the Gulf of Porto from the ridge, Paglia Orba mountain (the most beautiful in Corsica), Capu Tafunatu and its hole below the summit. A beautiful hike on theGR®20.

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.

A very beautiful hike that allows you to walk along the ridges and discover Lake Nino in a beautiful valley surrounded by stone mountains.

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 sixth stage of ourGR®20. We pass by the beautiful Lake Nino. It is a long hike in terms of distance, but the elevation gain is easier than on previous days.

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.

This short hike allows you to explore the Marine de Porto (its streets, shops, mainly restaurants and boat trip sales, its Genoese tower), its port and beach, then follow this path to Portu di a Castagna. The view from the pier allows you to see the whole of Porto Bay and, on the horizon, the coast of the Scandola Nature Reserve.

A short, enjoyable hike above Girolata with superb views. The hike is technical and the climbs are steep, so you need to have strong legs!

This is the second stage ofthe GR®20when travelling from north to south.

A legendary place in Corsica: Lake Nino and its pozzines. You have a magnificent view of the Cintu massif, the Gulf of Cargèse, and if you are lucky, you will encounter beautiful wild horses.

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.

The legendaryGR®20, done in a north-south direction... renowned as the most difficult ofthe GR® trails... Quite dizzying aerial passages alternate with easier passages, especially in the south. Very beautiful landscapes.

This is the first stage ofthe GR®20in Corsica when travelling from north to south. A difficult stage due to the significant elevation gain, and above all because it is the first day of a long series...

Short walk in the Calanques de Piana, mainly through woodland, from Tête de Chien to a viewpoint overlooking the fortified castle.

While the Calanches de Piana are world-famous, the forest that surrounds them is much less so. This beautiful forest of maritime pines stretches out on either side of the rocky ridge that gives rise to the Calanches. This circuit allows you to explore it before reaching the main site.

This paved path, supported by a magnificent dry stone wall, can be considered exceptional for the quality of its construction. It was the only route available to those travelling by mule from Piana to Porto and Ota in the early19th century. The Piana-Porto road was only opened in 1850 by Napoleon III. From then on, this route was used for communication. Source: Piana Town Hall. The return journey is via the Calanche di Piana.

A very beautiful hike above the Calanches de Piana, climbing Capu d'Orto via Foce d'Orto. Please note that a large part of the route between the two peaks is off the marked trails and involves some easy climbing. Fortunately, there are numerous cairns to guide you. The climb to the summit from Foce d'Orto requires sure footing and good visibility. At the summit, there is a magnificent view of the entire Gulf of Porto.

The summit of Vitullu is, wrongly, very little frequented compared to the nearby Capo D'Orto. Interesting if you want to be more alone.Vitullu (1,331 m) is slightly higher and offers a splendid view.At its summit is a pyramid, an IGN landmark.
