Sari-d'Orcino walks

A short, well-shaded hike in the morning, close to the coast in the Gulf of Liscia, starting from the beautiful village of Sari d'Orcino. Beautiful 360° view at the summit.

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.

Take the Chemin des Charbonniers on a family walk, learn about their trade and see the stages of charcoal production.

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.

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!

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.

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.

A short walk to enjoy with the family early in the morning, offering magnificent views of Ajaccio Bay and the Gulf of Lava.

A beautiful, short walk to discover old mills.

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.

Shady climb to the ridge between Punta San Pietru and Alcadina. Superb view of Aragnascu, Lake Todda, the snow-capped peaks (in winter) and the entire Gulf of Ajaccio. Steeper than the north side, the climb is steep from the start in Ocana.

A walk along the coastal path. There is not much left of the tower, but the view is worth it.

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.

Une petite randonnée facile au départ du joli village de Villanova, permettant de profiter d'une belle vue sur le golfe de Lava.

If you want to set off like an explorer in the footsteps of the ancient Corsican paths, rich in history and discoveries (numerous threshing floors), then this hike is for you. It will allow you to discover exceptional panoramas of the Golfes di Lava and Sagone on your right, as well as the high mountains of Corsica. After an hour's walk, the views open up onto the beaches of Capo di Feno and Saint-Antoine on your left. Optionally, you can access Punta di l'Avena on your right, but be warned that you may be disappointed if the scrub is not cleared. You will finally arrive at the most inaccessible and secret Genoese tower in the region: solitude and a sense of mystery guaranteed. This hike is a round trip on forgotten and unmaintained trails, in dense scrubland where you have to make your own way: follow the recommendations and the trail carefully, as well as the few blue markers on the ground.

A superb hike that will introduce you to the tragic history of the children’s cemetery at Castelluccio Penitentiary (160 children perished due to the conditions in the prison between 1865 and 1866), the beautiful little lake at the Lisa Dam and its small turtles, recognisable by their distinctive call, the magnificent mountain, its breathtaking views, its scrubland traversed by small herds of goats, and its many fountains, and finally the surprising Castellu d'A Punta. All along the route, you’ll discover exceptional views of the Sanguinaires Islands, the Corsican mountains, the Gulf of Ajaccio, and the fountain trail. This long hike is a round trip in open terrain (watch out for the sun) on paths that are often steep and slippery.

A simple, quick and shaded route in the hills above Ajaccio with beautiful views of the gulf.

On the outskirts of Ajaccio, an easy trail through the scrubland overlooking the gulf.
