Propriano walks
In Chjava, an abandoned village
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.
From Campomoro to Campomoro via the coastal path
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.

San Petru de Foce to Foce via Foci Livesi and Punta Forcicciolo

From this ridge, there are beautiful views of the valleys, the Gulf of Propriano and Ajaccio in the distance. The route passes by the memorial to the plane crash of December 1981 before descending to the Col de Vélica and then back to the starting point through a pretty deciduous wood.
