Pianottoli-Caldarello walks

The Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve.

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.

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.

This hike, which starts on a track and continues along a pleasant path through the scrubland, will take you to Oriu Grussettu, a Corsican curiosity not to be missed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 short hike through undergrowth, meadows and scrubland leads to the remains of Castellu di Baricci (beautiful ruins), whose original construction dates back to the 13th century. From the summit (519m) of this rocky outcrop, hikers can enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of the Ortolu valley as far as Roccapina.

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

A magnificent walk by the sea or in the countryside. Accessible from a car park at the edge of the trail, this route offers several points of interest such as beaches, rock formations and natural shelters, perfect for a walk with family or friends. This walk, with a moderate elevation gain, offers beautiful Corsican landscapes without any particular technical difficulty.

A short walk of less than an hour on the Rundinara peninsula. A family walk with a short 5-minute climb. First, take a short detour to the small beach, located south of the bay, then take the path that leads to the south coast of Rondinara Bay, with beautiful orange-red rocks standing out against the blue of the sea. Once at the top (53 m), you have a view of the entire Corsican coastline as far as neighbouring Sardinia.

Along the park path, a circular path joins the small beach of Prisarella and runs along the southern side of the pond. A short half-hour walk that is almost entirely flat.

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.

Hike through the beautiful Tizzano area to the Senetosa lighthouse.

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.

A short climb to a megalithic site in very good condition. For lovers of prehistoric remains, with the added bonus of a superb view of the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio.

Come and discover a swimming spot in the Osu river after an hour's walk. You can jump off the rock into a natural pool two to three metres deep.
