Corsica is a magical island of wild, untouched and sensational natural beauty. Its high peaks, rugged coastline, crystalline waters, endless forests and unspoilt landscape are a rare jewel. Blend that in with its unique culture and charming coastal towns and you have the recipe for a perfect walking tour.
The island of Corsica is located in the northernmost waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Côte d’Azur and the Tuscan Archipelago only a stone’s throw away.
The island boasts a wide variety of scenery including 1,000 km of coastal landscapes, stunning shorelines, breath-taking mountains, refreshing forests and high-altitude lakes.
A central range of steep mountains starting in Calvi in the North and ending in Porto Vecchio in the South divides the island into two distinct regions. TheSouth and the West are substantially more mountainous and volcanic. Its coast line is rugged and defined by steep and jagged granite cliffs and coves – the occasional sandy beach is often only accessible by boat. The North and the East by comparison have more gentle mountains and the coastline has long stretches of sandy beaches spanning from Bastia to Porto Vecchio.
Bonifacio & St Florent stand out with their limestone escarpment where the rock is clear and light, a stark contrast to the deep red volcanic cliffs of Scandola National Park and the western coast of Corsica.
Corsica is considered the tallest and greenest island in the Mediterranean sea with 20 peaks at more than 2,000m high and water omnipresent. Its compact mountains are thickly forested and the highlands form vast natural prairies with an abundance of fresh water sources, streams and rivers (Vizzavona). Water cascades down to the sea, hollowing out the gorges and valleys (Tavignano).

Getting out and about on foot is a wonderful way to slow down the pace, relax and get some healthy exercise.
When we walk we see so much more – grape vines, wild flowers, ancient oaks, wheat fields, avenues of cypresses and pine, time resistant hills and valleys.
As we stroll through historic towns we learn about the culture of the people; as we stand in the splendour of the countryside, beneath the soaring columns of ancient temples, abbey walls and turrets of medieval castles we marvel at man’s ability to conceive of and construct such monuments.
