Zonza walks

In Alta Rocca, in the Ospédale forest, a beautiful hike leads first along a shaded path to the Luviu sheepfolds in a beautiful clearing. From Monte Calva, after a short climb, there is a magnificent view of both sides of the island, to the south and the bay of Porto-Vecchio. At the Col d'Illarata (start and finish), to the west, the beautiful summit of the Pointe du Diamant (1,227 m) is clearly visible.

This loop allows you to visit the various remarkable points of the southern Bavella massif (Velacu massif), including Punta Velacu, the Promontory, the Campanile de Sainte-Lucie, the tafonu di u Cumpuleddu (incorrectly called "trou de la bombe" or "bomb hole"), the belvedere and the chapel, through the forest and rocky peaks. Magnificent views of the ravines of Punta Velacu and Calanca Murata, all with less than 500 m of elevation gain.

This hike will take you to "U Cumpuleddu", more commonly known as "Trou de la Bombe" (Bomb Hole), a geological formation caused by erosion. The route also offers beautiful views of the Aiguilles de Bavella mountain range. Much of the hike takes place under the cover of Laricio pine trees.

A sublime hike around the Aiguilles de Bavella. A long and demanding hike (see practical information).

In French, cascade du pin, this is one of the seven wonders of the Alta Rocca. It's a truly beautiful 70-metre waterfall.

The 360° views from the summit over the bay of Porto-Vecchio, the Ospedale dam and the Alta Rocca are well worth the final climb, which is short but quite tough. The loop starts near the Cartalavonu lodge, Le Refuge.

At the gateway to Alta Rocca, this moderately difficult hike allows you to enjoy the exquisite scents of the maquis in spring. The route begins with a pleasant woodland trail before reaching the ridge, which offers views of the Taravo valley and the Rizzanèze valley. From San Petru, there is a magnificent panoramic view of the Gulf of Valinco (Propriano) as far as the Gulf of Ajaccio. On the way back, the descent is opposite the Aiguilles de Bavella.

This easy hike will allow you to discover a small part of the Coscionu plateau, which rises to an average altitude of 1,500 metres. This beautiful loop will take you along paths, tracks and trails through a varied and unspoilt landscape. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to encounter some animals, such as pigs, horses and donkeys

This is a round-trip hike that leads to a summit at an altitude of 1,217 metres. At the end of the climb, rising up from a jumble of black granite, stands the Uomo di Cagna, a balancing rock formation. The summit plateau offers a beautiful view of the southern coastline.

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.

This very easy short hike starts in Monaccia-d'Aullène and follows the heritage trail, which leads to the Mesolithic Orii, which have had many uses over time (farming, livestock breeding, bandit hideouts, resistance, etc.). The circuit also features old mill buildings. __Please note__: although easy, this loop is not suitable for children or people with reduced mobility.

From Porto Pollo, a picturesque trail through the scrubland leads to the Genoese tower of Capanella, where free access to the top offers a magnificent view of the pretty bay of Cupabia, Punta and the cove of Capanella.

Starting from Campomoro, this circular hike is not difficult. Running along the coast, rocky landscapes give way to coves and inlets. At Cala d'Aguglia (the southernmost point of the route), where calm reigns, it is worth stopping to admire this cove that stretches inland and enjoy its beautiful beach. The return journey takes you inland through the scrubland with beautiful views of the coast and finally the Gulf of Propriano.

From Campomoro to Senetosa.

The Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve.

Short walk from the car park opposite the prison to the dam reservoir. From here, there is a beautiful view of the valley. In the lake, you will see fish, lots of dragonflies and, perhaps, the two frogs.

This is a magnificent hike that has never been done before, as there is a section that is not listed. The trail starts halfway to the Ghisoni ski resort via a shortcut that leads onto the famous GR®20. This route offers a wide variety of landscapes and vegetation, including fir and beech forests, scrubland, rocky areas, lakes, rivers, animals, sheepfolds and the famous pozzi, which are magnificent in this location. These are pools of water in the green grass that form natural basins, connected by small river veins in the grass. The outward journey is via the Lacs de Rina, and the return via the GR®20. There are a few tough, steep sections, but all in all, it's not a very difficult hike, and well worth the effort.

A beautiful circular walk, mostly along the coast, offering magnificent views of the cliffs of Bonifacio on the way there and back over the Gulf of Ventilegne. This is particularly recommended on windy days when the waves break on the rocky chaos of Cap de Feno with Sardinia in the background. The hike starts at the Hermitage of the Trinity, a place to visit for contemplation with a Way of the Cross on mercy. Plan to go swimming in the wild coves.

A beautiful hike from the hamlet of Cascionu leads through the maquis to the Genoese tower of Capu di Muru, from the top of which there is a magnificent view of the Anse du Cacao and the Gulf of Ajaccio. The westernmost point of Capu di Muru and its lighthouse offer a superb spectacle of chaotic rock formations that give free rein to the imagination. The Da Madonella chapel is also located at this extreme point. The return trip along the coast offers views of Cala d'Orzu.

The path from Bonifacio to Strada Vecia, Madonetta is an old Genoese road paved and lined with low walls. You'll discover the Madonetta lighthouse, the Fazzio cove and Paragan beach, with exceptional views over Bonifacio.

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

This hike is located in the extreme south of Corsica, in the Strait of Bonifacio. It offers views of the Lavezzi Islands and Sardinia, as well as breathtaking views of Bonifacio.
