Discover Corsica's vibrant villages, geological wonders
and azure coastline on foot
A veritable mountain in the sea, Corsica is the most geographically diverse
of the Mediterranean Islands. It offers such a variety of landscapes from
snow topped mountain peaks to fine sandy beaches. Age old paths link the
high mountain plains with their shepherd huts through to the picturesque
Mediterranean Coast. This itinerary starts in the central valley and includes
some time on the Grand Randonnee 20 (GR20), the challenging long
distance route running most of the length of Corsica. On foot you'll discover
the scented pine forests and the pretty mountain village of Evisa. Explore
the deep Spelunca Gorge and the exceptional Gulf of Porto with its unique
jumble of rose granite pinnacles including the famous Calanques of Piana.
The journey on foot ends in Piana, with its dramatic cliff top position high
above the sea and incredible sunset views from the terrace of your hotel.
