In a few words

From the mountains to the sea, we offer a diverse exploration of Corsica through fabulous sites such as the Niolu Valley, the Aïtone Forest, the village of Evisa, the Spelunca Gorge, and the village of Ota, not forgetting the magnificent Calanques of Piana! You'll begin with your head in the mountains and end with your feet in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Your itinerary takes place in the northwest of the island. In its mountainous section, near Calacuccia, the trail alternates between pastoral areas with vast pastures and forests of beech, chestnut, and Corsican pine. During this hike, you'll enjoy a varied discovery of Corsica. The highlight is the Gulf of Porto with its deep blue waters and the famous Calanques of Piana, an incredible jumble of red granite needles, peaks, and ridges.

The highlights

  • The Calanques of Piana, the gorges of Spelunca, the Gulf of Porto
  • A beautiful journey from the mountains to the sea
  • Start of stay from Ajaccio, Bastia or Calvi

We had a wonderful sporting holiday in Corsica. The partner had arranged the route, accommodations, and luggage transfers. Two drawbacks: out of six days, only two were half-board, and on the last night, we stayed in a very old hotel (still in its original state). While the retro decor might have its charm, there was only one electrical outlet in the room, a moldy shower curtain, and we were given a filthy set of three towels. Considering the price we paid, we weren't entirely satisfied.

Hello Christine,


We are pleased that you enjoyed the organization and the itinerary. Regarding the half-board option, only two dinners were included. This choice allows travelers to freely enjoy the restaurants in the lively villages.

The accommodation for the last night is a basic 2-star hotel, as mentioned on the trip page. We are sorry it did not meet your expectations and are discussing this with our partner.

We hope that you will nevertheless retain a good memory of this experience.
