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.

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.

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

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.

A short walk to the abandoned village of Pruna. The highlight is undoubtedly the 180° view of the mouth of the Gulf of Porto Vecchio and the tip of San Ciprianu, just opposite.

In French, cascade du pin, this is one of the seven wonders of the Alta Rocca. It's a truly beautiful 70-metre waterfall.

Starting from Campomoro, this circular hike is not difficult. Along the coast, rocky landscapes give way to coves and inlets. At Cala d'Aguglia (the southernmost point of the route), where calm reigns, it is worth taking a break to admire this cove that stretches inland and enjoy its beautiful beach. The return journey takes you inland through the scrubland, offering beautiful views of the coast and finally the Gulf of Propriano.

From Campomoro to Senetosa.

In Alta Rocca, in the Ospédale forest, a beautiful hike leads first along a shaded path to the Luviu sheepfolds in a beautiful clearing. From Monte Calva, after a short climb, there is a magnificent view of both sides of the island, to the south and the bay of Porto-Vecchio. At the Col d'Illarata (start and finish), to the west, the beautiful summit of the Pointe du Diamant (1,227 m) is clearly visible.

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.

Walk along San Ciprianu Beach with the climb up to Punta d'Arasu. This walk takes you along the beach side of the lagoon called the lido to Punta d'Arasu, returning via the marshes.

The Cavu Valley is characterised by natural pools and large slabs of bleached granite with rounded shapes along its course. The hike follows the river before climbing through the scrubland along a discreet path leading to a first viewpoint (401m) and then a second (509m), offering panoramic views over the Cavu and the mountainous cirque at the bottom of the valley dominated by Punta de Quercitello (1461m). To the east, Pinarello Bay beckons.

A hike through scrubland and undergrowth on a properly marked trail, steep in places. Same starting point as the "La Vallée du Cavu" hike suggested on Visorando, but avoids the entire second part on the track.

From Porto Pollo, a picturesque trail through the scrubland leads to the Genoese tower of Capanella, where free access to the top offers a magnificent view of the pretty bay of Cupabia, Punta and the cove of Capanella.

A pleasant walk along the coast with the option of stopping at a beach and exploring a Genoese tower.
