Olmi-Cappella walks
Olmi circular route to Bocca Croce
This walk is suitable for families. It is not particularly difficult and offers a bucolic stroll after visiting the villages. Much of the walk is shaded.
In the Olmi-Cappella and Mausoléo forests, Genoese bridges and mill ruins
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.
Monte Grosso via Melaja
Ascending Monte Grosso via the Melaja Forest. A breathtaking view from the summit over the whole of Balagne, the Agriates and Cap Corse in the distance.
A fairly difficult hike, but shorter than if you start from Calenzana.
Double circular loop in Speloncato
This short hike is interesting for its various monuments: fountains, wash house, ruined castle, houses, church and even a beehive house.
The path is shaded.
The gentle slope makes for an easy heritage walk at the foot of the village of Speloncato, which is ideal for families.

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.
Walk in the woods at Avapessa
This short circular starting from the village of Avapessa is short and easy, making it ideal for family walks with children, for example. The fact that much of the route is shaded makes it ideal for summer walks.

From the Ortu di u Piobu refuge to the Carrozu refuge
This is the second stage ofthe GR®20when travelling from north to south.
Cima di Sant Angelo from Pigna
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.
La Pieve d'Aregno - Lavatoggio - Sant'Antonino circular loop
Sant'Antonino is located in the heart of Balagne, perched at an altitude of 500 metres on a granite peak near L'Île-Rousse and Calvi, between the sea and the mountains. The village overlooks the Aregno plain on one side and part of the Reginu plain on the other. A veritable eagle's nest, it consists of around 75 houses, built close together and winding around a granite peak, forming a labyrinth to better resist any invaders (Source: Wikipedia).
Circular Sant'anghulu path passing by the abandoned convent
The trail starts in the small village of Corbara, passes through Mont Sant'anghulu, and on the way back, you will come across the abandoned convent of the same name.
Monte Astu from Lama
A beautiful hike through the Corsican maquis. The path winds along a beautiful marked trail to the Prunincu Refuge, then continues to climb through beautiful vegetation to the ridge overlooking the Puleghio ravine. To reach the summit, you will need to climb over some rocks (caution advised for those prone to vertigo). From Monte Astu, there is a magnificent view over the eastern plain, stretching as far as Île Rousse and the bay of Saint-Florent.
GR®20 from Calenzana to Conca in 13 days
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.
From Calenzana to the Ortu di U Piobu refuge
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...
Acciolu Beach
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.
The Agriates Desert from Ostriconi
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.
Ostriconi - Cala di Vana
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.
From the Carrozzu refuge to the Asco Stagnu refuge
The third stage ofthe GR®20is a beautiful climb through scree. And magnificent orange lilies add colour to the mountain.
Monte Cinto
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.
Punta Spanu from Algajola
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.
From the Asco Stagnu refuge to the Tighiettu refuge
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.
Punta di Ficaghiola
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.

Bonifatu Forest, on the banks of the Figarella
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.
