Monacia-d'Aullène walks

This very easy short hike starts in Monaccia-d'Aullène and follows the heritage trail, which leads to the Mesolithic Orii, which have had many uses over time (farming, livestock breeding, bandit hideouts, resistance, etc.). The circuit also features old mill buildings. __Please note__: although easy, this loop is not suitable for children or people with reduced mobility.

The Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve.

This is a round-trip hike that leads to a summit at an altitude of 1,217 metres. At the end of the climb, rising up from a jumble of black granite, stands the Uomo di Cagna, a balancing rock formation. The summit plateau offers a beautiful view of the southern coastline.

The empty beach of Erbaghu is probably one of the most beautiful in Corsica and, incidentally, an extraordinary example of tafunate erosion. Return via the Rocapine Tower.

Short circular walk through the Corsican scrubland leading to the old sheepfold of Paccialu di a Sarra, then to Punta di Pitone (577m) where there is a beautiful view of the village of Giuncheto, the Ortolu valley and the Cagna mountain.

A superb hike in the Bouches de Bonifacio Natural Park. A refreshing walk along the coastline with a detour into the Étang de la Testarella wetland. It feels like walking through a landscaped garden filled with flowers in spring. A pleasant walk in any season. The return route offers a different viewpoint, preventing monotony. Three and a half hours including stops for this walk, which is one of our favourites. Once again, there is a wide choice of beaches and rocks. Can be combined with the Punta di Ventilegne circular.

A beautiful circular walk, mostly along the coast, offering magnificent views of the cliffs of Bonifacio on the way there and back over the Gulf of Ventilegne. This is particularly recommended on windy days when the waves break on the rocky chaos of Cap de Feno with Sardinia in the background. The hike starts at the Hermitage of the Trinity, a place to visit for contemplation with a Way of the Cross on mercy. Plan to go swimming in the wild coves.

Hike through the beautiful Tizzano area to the Senetosa lighthouse.

The path from Bonifacio to Strada Vecia, Madonetta is an old Genoese road paved and lined with low walls. You'll discover the Madonetta lighthouse, the Fazzio cove and Paragan beach, with exceptional views over Bonifacio.

A short climb of an hour and a half there and back through the scrubland and a beautiful forest of holm oaks to the ruins of the village of A Chjava. The path is very rugged at the start but ends with a pretty trail through the undergrowth. A Chjava is a small hamlet of about ten houses, built in the 17th century and abandoned in the following century. Located in the municipality of Tivolaggio, it still has some beautiful remains, evidence of its wealth at the time of its construction.

The 360° views from the summit over the bay of Porto-Vecchio, the Ospedale dam and the Alta Rocca are well worth the final climb, which is short but quite tough. The loop starts near the Cartalavonu lodge, Le Refuge.

This hike is located in the extreme south of Corsica, in the Strait of Bonifacio. It offers views of the Lavezzi Islands and Sardinia, as well as breathtaking views of Bonifacio. It takes you to two white sandy beaches, the deserted Cala Sciumara and the beautiful Saint-Antoine beach. You will cross the maquis and walk along the limestone cliffs with breathtaking views of the coastline and cliffs. Between (1) and (2) see reviews

Starting from Campomoro, this circular hike is not difficult. Along the coast, rocky landscapes give way to coves and inlets. At Cala d'Aguglia (the southernmost point of the route), where calm reigns, it is worth taking a break to admire this cove that stretches inland and enjoy its beautiful beach. The return journey takes you inland through the scrubland, offering beautiful views of the coast and finally the Gulf of Propriano.

From Campomoro to Senetosa.

Starting from Poggio di Tallano, this circular route without any particular difficulties allows you to admire the Chapel of San Giovanni (St John the Baptist, a beautiful Romanesque church) and visit the pretty villages of Altagène, Sant'Andréa and Sainte-Lucie-de-Tallano. There are many old buildings, fortified houses and an old oil mill along the way. Most of the route follows sunken paths, but this does not prevent you from enjoying magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

Only one climb and one descent, but what a beautiful view awaits you. View of the villages of Alta Rocca: Zonza, Quenza and Serra di Scopamène, as well as the Bavella Needles.

In French, cascade du pin, this is one of the seven wonders of the Alta Rocca. It's a truly beautiful 70-metre waterfall.

In Alta Rocca, in the Ospédale forest, a beautiful hike leads first along a shaded path to the Luviu sheepfolds in a beautiful clearing. From Monte Calva, after a short climb, there is a magnificent view of both sides of the island, to the south and the bay of Porto-Vecchio. At the Col d'Illarata (start and finish), to the west, the beautiful summit of the Pointe du Diamant (1,227 m) is clearly visible.

From Porto Pollo, a picturesque trail through the scrubland leads to the Genoese tower of Capanella, where free access to the top offers a magnificent view of the pretty bay of Cupabia, Punta and the cove of Capanella.
