In a few words

An exceptional itinerary on the west coast of Corsica , between turquoise sea and wild mountains . From Ajaccio , your adventure begins in Cargèse , a picturesque village bathed in Mediterranean light, before reaching Piana and its famous pink granite calanques , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a captivating hike overlooking the Gulf of Porto.

The path continues towards Girolata , an isolated hamlet nestled between wild coves and secret beaches , accessible only on foot via the postman's path . Then, head inland: crystal-clear rivers , Genoese bridges , fragrant maquis , and pastoral encounters mark your progress.

In the second part, the adventure gains altitude with a foray onto the GR20 , in the Golo Valley , punctuated by waterfalls and traditional sheepfolds . The highlight is a panoramic climb to a ruined Romanesque chapel , suspended between sky and earth, offering a spectacular view of the Corsican landscape.

An intense stay, in the heart of unspoiled nature , between coastal treasures and mountain authenticity .
