The island of beauty presents surprises and views at every flip of the trail, from demanding treks to day-long loops, from must-do’s to off-the-beaten-track itineraries.
If the GR20 is the grail of each hiker, this trek, crossing the island from north to south, is sort of robust: 200 km, vital differences in altitude, alpine variants, and by way of ferrata above the void, however above all high mountain circumstances. The game is well worth the candle in case you are in good physical situation, especially because the route could be cut up into two sections, north and south, the latter being the simplest. They meet at the Vizavona cross, within the very coronary heart of the island, which provides the opportunity to go and refresh oneself on the delightful cascade des Anglais, where the officers of Queen Victoria’s Indian army used to return to recharge their batteries. Water has also carved the Restonica Gorges, which could be followed from the proud Corte to Monte Rotondo and its high-altitude lakes of Melo and Capitello. Nonetheless in Haute Corse, the Bonifatu cirque is worth it, reached by taking the path and the monkey bridge of Spamisata. After ready for a wild sow lying in the midst of a mountain street to finish suckling her babies, head south for Bavella and its breathtaking granite needles. Probably the most experienced will take the climbing routes, others will admire them at sunset. The island may also be found from east to west with medium mountain itineraries, the Mare e Monti and the Mare a Mare. The southern one presents the opportunity to get misplaced within the bewitching forest of Ospedale. At the refuge, after dinner, you'll have the prospect to hear a polyphonic music. For an immersion within the traditions, there's nothing like a remote and wild land dominated by the 2,709 m2 of Monte Cinto, the Niolu. To be found on the summer time pasture, from sheepfold to sheepfold, whereas the fragrant nature gives its flowery perfumes that the lads will rework into cheeses. A mountain planted in the sea, Corsica is an island with a thousand faces and multiple flavors, to discover at the pace of the hiker.
