Punta Sant'Eliseu from the Col de Tartavello
Through the Corsican vegetation of tree heath, arbutus and pine trees, the discreet path leading to Punta Sant'Eliseu is sometimes peaceful, sometimes challenging. The arrival at the summit offers a superb panoramic view of the bays of Sagone, Liscia and Ajaccio to the west and Monte Renoso and Monte D'Oro to the east. Closer by, below, the villages highlight the gentleness of the Gravone valley.
Soccia at Lake Creno
One of the most beautiful hikes in Corsica. The path is pleasant, with part of it in the woods. The arrival at the lake is a magical moment. The lake appears in a setting, even if there are a few people around, the place is conducive to quiet conversation.
A very beautiful place for a picnic.
Punta di à Vita
An easy hike from Sari d'Orcino to the two Punta di à Vita peaks: one as indicated on the maps, the other as written on the cross at its summit. Much of the trail is marked in yellow as far as Bocca di à Vita.

Mont d'Aragnascu loop
This is a great hike, best done in the morning. Superb views of the Prunelli and Gravone valleys. No difficulties, very well marked route in yellow.
Punta San Sisto from Appietto
A very beautiful hike a few kilometres from Ajaccio with magnificent views of the surrounding gulfs and peaks. This walk combines part of the PR® trail between Appietto and Calcatoggio, a magnificent walk along the ridges and numerous points of interest such as the ruins of an old chapel, a dolmen and a stone castle!
Circular route of Rocher des Gozzi and Punta Pastinaca
A superb hike to share with others. Circular walk around the popular Rocher des Gozzi, which then climbs back up towards Punta Pastinaca. It continues on to Punta Curbajola, then descends towards the stream to reach Bocca a Foce. It then climbs back up towards San Sisto. It offers 360° views and a chance to share a moment sheltered from the wind in the old chapel.
Rocher des Gozzi and Punta Pastinaca in Apietto
This hike on the outskirts of Ajaccio leads to the Rocher des Gozzi, a red granite cliff, at the top of which there is an exceptional view of the Gulf of Lava, then Ajaccio with its airport and the points of Isulella, Castagna and Capu di Muru, and the Gravone valley.
From Punta Pastinaca, the view is completed to the east by the magnificent view of Monte Rotondo, Monte d'Oro and Monte Renoso and the Gravone valley.
Monte Gozzi
A short walk to enjoy with the family early in the morning, offering magnificent views of Ajaccio Bay and the Gulf of Lava.
Aïtone Forest, chestnut grove, waterfalls and pools of Evisa
Along this fairly easy educational walk (with lots of interesting information boards), you will discover the hard life of the farmers of yesteryear in the midst of chestnut and Laricio pine trees. A magical forest where you expect to meet a fairy behind every patch of moss on a rock. Perhaps they have turned into pigs nibbling on chestnuts along the way. Further on, you will walk along the Aïtone with its pools (8°C!) and waterfalls... very popular in summer as it is accessible from a tarmac road. The best time to visit is October/November for the colours and manageable crowds.
From Evisa to Porto
For this last stage, as soon as you leave Evisa, take the discovery trail and descend the beautiful Spelunca Gorges. After the Genoese bridge at Pianella, you will arrive at the beautiful village of Ota and descend towards the marina at Porto.
The Spelunca Gorges and the Zaglia Bridge from a bridge over the Porto
This route is shaded, making it ideal on hot days! It is suitable for children, who will enjoy playing in the water afterwards.
When you start the hike after the bridge over the Porto River, you will see signs indicating that the route is closed due to bad weather. These signs are old and there is no problem until the bridge. Apparently, there are landslides on the path after the Zaglia bridge towards Evisa.
From Lake Melo to the Brèche de Capitello
This is a very beautiful hike that allows you to discover the two lakes of Melo and Capitello with a view of the Brèche de Capitello. The view from the breach allows you to discover both sides of the massif.
