Tavera walks

At an altitude of 1,630 m and close to Ajaccio, this easily accessible peak offers stunning views over the Gravona Valley. Rather than the quick, direct route to the summit from the Col de Scalella, opt for the longer, gentler circular route, with its stunning scenery.

Walk under the oak trees connecting the village of Bocognano to Piscia di Tavera Vechja, also known as the "Voile de la Mariée" waterfall.

A 1,000-metre ascent, above the village of Bocognano, with some steep sections, awaits hikers on this route. The path is sometimes tricky due to frequent fallen trees, which occasionally alter the route. Markings become sparser in the final third. The use of a GPS and walking poles is strongly recommended.

At an altitude of 850 metres, there is a view of Bocognano and the Gravone valley.

A hike leading to the A Tanedda glacier (or more precisely, the snowfield). This site was used fromthe 17th to the early19th century for the ice trade. After extraction, the ice was transported to Ajaccio. A beautiful ascent, alternating between shaded and sunny areas, which will give you a sense of the harshness of life in days gone by.

If you don’t like out-and-back routes, here is a circular route that can be done starting from Bastelica. It will allow you to see the Ortola waterfall. You will also pass through the pig farms on this walk.

A short hike starting from Bastelica, following the Volta Canal and leading to the Ortola Waterfall. You will pass through a magnificent forest of old chestnut trees.

A pleasant walk to the sheepfolds, amongst very affectionate donkeys and pigs that spend their time dozing.

Starting from the RT20, there is a beautiful climb through beech woods to reach Punta Capiteddu (1,680 m), above the village of Bocognano, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding peaks and the Col de Vizzavona.

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.

Climb up to Rocher de la Madonuccia, which offers a surprising view of Monte d'Oro.

A beautiful hike that follows theGR®20trail, with breathtaking scenery.

This route is a return walk to see the Cascade des Anglais. Once there, you’ll find the famous waterfall and numerous natural pools where you can take a dip in the cool water.

A very family-friendly walk with fabulous pools halfway along the route. Option to do the treetop adventure park on the way back.

Starting near the Col de Vizzavona, this short circular hike will take you to the Cascade des Anglais waterfall and down along the Agnone with its beautiful pools inviting you to take a dip. The return journey is via an easy path through the forest.

Our eighth day on theGR®20. A steep climb before an equally steep descent, but with a beautiful view... You will admire the Cascade des Anglais as you approach Vizzavona.

Discover the Pozzi du Renosu, one of Corsica's most remarkable geological gems, on a circular route redesigned for your comfort. This hike will take you to a vast high-altitude plateau where intense green lawns are dotted with a myriad of sparkling water holes, a direct legacy of the last ice age. We offer an alternative departure point that avoids the steep climb up the ski slope in favour of a more gradual and pleasant path.

From the Val d'Ese station, set off to discover an unexpected landscape in Corsica: the Pozzines. This hike also offers magnificent views of Monte Renoso and Lake Vitalaca. You are sure to come across herds of sheep and cattle grazing in this area.

An original way to explore the magnificent Pozzi by climbing Punta Scaldasole, which overlooks them. This walk is classified as difficult due to the short final climb, but the rest is easy.

On the ninth stage of ourGR® 20 hike, the landscape becomes gentler, greener and more wooded.

This hike offers the chance to discover the work of Italian artist Claudio Parmiggiani. In 1999, the sculptor carved his handprints, palms facing upwards. They were then set in granite. Strictly speaking, this artwork is not on the path leading up to the summit of Monte d’Oro. You will need to veer off the path to find it. Behind dense vegetation, you will find a large granite boulder below, in which the Golden Hands are embedded. It is therefore important to follow the GPS track.The hike enters the forest and climbs towards Monte d'Oro. The final kilometre is more challenging, with a climb that is at times steep and stony. You will need to use your hands to help you. You will also need to cross granite slabs that are sometimes very steep. Depending on the season, part of this final kilometre may also be waterlogged. For these reasons, the hike is classified as ‘difficult’.

Easy family hike along a well-marked, shaded trail. Accessible to anyone who is able to walk. Trout river, pure water, pools, waterfalls.

Pleasant and relatively easy hike. Well-marked trail, steady and moderate slopes, no danger. The walk is almost entirely in the shade of a pine and beech forest. Perfect for a first outing in the mountains or a slightly adventurous family walk.

A beautiful, short walk to discover old mills.
