Olmeta-di-Capocorso walks

A hike in a magnificent corner of Cap Corse. Very beautiful view on both sides at the summit. From the village to the summit, a true corner of Corsica. Pure. Authentic.

Climb from the village of Farinole to the old magnetite mine. Panoramic view of the Gulf of Saint-Florent and the Agriates desert.

The Chjassu di u Cunventu is a village loop trail that allows you to discover Farinole and its breathtaking landscapes. Starting from the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, the route passes through the village before reaching the maquis. It runs alongside the Marianda convent, then takes a panoramic path from which you can see the marina and the Genoese tower of Farinole. Finally, the path rejoins the forest canopy before returning to the village.

At an altitude of 1,307 metres, Monte Stello is the second highest peak in Cap Corse. This viewpoint on the central ridge of Cap Corse offers a magnificent panorama of the east and west coasts.

Thanks to this route, which takes in places and monuments steeped in history as well as magnificent natural surroundings, the municipality of Patrimonio—which initiated and oversaw this project—offers a lovely walk of just over 3 km. This informative walk allows you to discover the village’s historical and architectural heritage via well-shaded paths or riverside routes, which are very pleasant in summer and, for the lucky residents, at any time of year.

A beautiful walk, surrounded by the vineyards of Patrimonio, between Monte San'Angelo and Col de Teghime.

Climb up to see the Genoese Bridge and enjoy a view overlooking Erbalunga.

Starting from Barbaggio town hall (heading downhill), the Chjassu Napuleone crosses the village before entering a forest, where you can see old agricultural gardens on either side of the path. The richness of this route continues when you take the "imperial road" that gave the trail its name. Before becoming emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have walked this road. The trail can also be taken in the opposite direction (uphill), starting from the bridge at the intersection of Strada San Petru and Strada Napuleone. If you are only doing a one-way trip, i.e. not returning, remember to leave one car at the starting point and another at the end.

From Olzu beach, follow the coastal path to admire the beautiful coves and inlets. Wear sturdy footwear.

A beautiful circular hike offering views of both the city of Bastia and Saint-Florent at its highest point on the ridge trail. It is well shaded with several water sources and follows part of the heritage trail near Pietrabugno. There are a few sections on the road near Bastia, but these are fairly quiet.

The Balcons trail, starting from the Belvédère de Barbaggio (downhill) or the RD238 (uphill), offers a nearly 10 km round trip with continuous views of the vineyards and the Conca d'Oru. It can also be taken as a one-way trip (5 km) by leaving a car at the end point and another at the starting point. Surrounded by scrubland, this trail offers remarkable views of the landscapes of the Grand Site de France Conca d'Oru, the Patrimonio vineyards, the Gulf of Saint-Florent and the limestone chain of Mont Sant'Anghjulu, whose six iconic hills are the visual signature of the area.

This short, easy walking route takes you around Bastia’s old town, the old harbour, the magnificent Aldilonda footpath and the citadel.

A walk suitable for everyone, offering the chance to discover part of the heritage of the village of Barrettali.

This coastal hike allows you to explore this desert via a very pleasant trail and swim in idyllic coves.

This hike takes you through part of the Agriates desert along the coastal path, from Saint-Florent to Loto beach, passing through picture-postcard landscapes.

A lovely circular route along the coastal path starting from Roya Beach in Saint-Florent. A smooth ride along the coast on the outward leg. The return leg follows an inland track with panoramic views of the gulf, Cap Corse, Saint-Florent and the mountain range surrounding the Nebbiu region.
