Departure from Osani (Corse-du-Sud)
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.

Departure from Piana (Corse-du-Sud)
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.
