Palasca walks

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.

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.

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.

An interesting hike at the foot of San Parteo, offering superb views of the Giussani villages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Please note: the route presented here avoids a section of road suggested by the IGN map in favour of a wooded, signposted path marked in red.

A circular hike that allows you to visit three villages in Balagne whilst taking in views of the Réginu and Montegrosso plains on both sides. With its wooded sections and magnificent views, this hike is a wonderful way to discover the region. In the background, the magnificent Montegrossu looms over the village of Zilia at the start.

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).
