Hikes in Cap Corse

Hiking in Cap Corse can give you the opportunity to discover its history, its people and its exceptionnal natural landscapes. We will guide you on paths that we know by heart with the intention of showing you how rich this wild region is.

We offer 3 different types of hikes:
* Day hikes during which you will discover both a diversity of landscapes and major parts of the heritage of Cap Corse,
* Half-day hikes where we explore one village in particular and its surroundings,
* Sunset hikes that let us easily reach headlands from which we admire this daily spectacle, gathered around an aperitif composed of local products.

In order to make your reading and choice easier, each hike is noted with its difficulty level. It is independent from the type of hike and noted with stars:

* : very easy - ** : easy - *** : moderate - **** : athletic
