Departure from Évisa (Corse-du-Sud)
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.
