Sari-d'Orcino walks

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

A pleasant short hike through the maquis to the Frassu Tower, which offers a beautiful view of the Gulf of Ajaccio, Porticcio and the Capitello Tower. Changes following comments: - Please note that the end of the path to the tower is difficult to find. Keep an eye out for cairns from the information sign - Difficulty level changed from "easy" to "moderate"

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.

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.

This short hike will take you to the Genoese tower of Omigna, along the coastline of the point of the same name. The tower has been beautifully restored and offers views of the Sanguinaires Islands to the south and Capo Rosso to the north.

A walk between the sea and the maquis to the Genoese tower of La Parata, with a superb view of the Sanguinaires Islands.

This superb hike offers exceptional views of the Gulf of Ajaccio during the first part (Petite Corniche). The second part follows the Grande Corniche trail and offers breathtaking views of the Sanguinaires Islands and Capo di Feno. Finally, you arrive at the splendid Saint-Antoine Beach. The large Capo di Feno beach can be reached in a few minutes by following the path that starts at the end of Saint-Antoine. After this refreshing stop, you will return via the path that cuts through a densely wooded area offering a few views of the beaches. This hike is a circular route on good quality paths, often along the coast but shaded if you set off in the morning. The return journey is in the shade of the forest or scrubland. Please note that the return journey begins with a very steep climb. As a bonus, there is a little-known passage that offers a unique bird's eye view of the beaches of Saint-Antoine and Capo di Feno.

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.

While the Calanches de Piana are world-famous, the forest that surrounds them is much less so. This beautiful forest of maritime pines stretches out on either side of the rocky ridge that gives rise to the Calanches. This circuit allows you to explore it before reaching the main site.

A very beautiful hike above the Calanches de Piana, climbing Capu d'Orto via Foce d'Orto. Please note that a large part of the route between the two peaks is off the marked trails and involves some easy climbing. Fortunately, there are numerous cairns to guide you. The climb to the summit from Foce d'Orto requires sure footing and good visibility. At the summit, there is a magnificent view of the entire Gulf of Porto.

This paved path, supported by a magnificent dry stone wall, can be considered exceptional for the quality of its construction. It was the only route available to those travelling by mule from Piana to Porto and Ota in the early19th century. The Piana-Porto road was only opened in 1850 by Napoleon III. From then on, this route was used for communication. Source: Piana Town Hall. The return journey is via the Calanche di Piana.

The summit of Vitullu is, wrongly, very little frequented compared to the nearby Capo D'Orto. Interesting if you want to be more alone.Vitullu (1,331 m) is slightly higher and offers a splendid view.At its summit is a pyramid, an IGN landmark.

Short walk in the Calanques de Piana, mainly through woodland, from Tête de Chien to a viewpoint overlooking the fortified castle.
