Hiking - Corsica. Trekking and Backpacking trips

Corsica has maintained its natural heritage away from the hand of man. Part of its conservation is due to its isolation, since it is accessible mainly by sea. In fact, it has a fabulous seabed with a great biodiversity. Here you will also find numerous animal and plant species, such as cormorants, wild goats, shearwaters, algae and corals.

A mythical trek

The famous GR20 is a long trail, which crosses the island from Calanzana to Conca, near Porto-Vecchio. It offers a different view of the Corsican geography, while you approach its peaks, only accessible for expert hikers. The route is usually divided into 16 stages with an average duration of 4 to 8 hours each. It crosses really magnificent and impressive wild landscapes at high altitude.

A granitic universe

At the southern end of the island, the rock formations offer a unique universe that reflects the extraordinary beauty of the Corsican mountain: Alta Rocca. This massif combines the roughness of its summits with forests of amazing pines. Alta Rocca is full of hiking trails, which connect almost all the villages in the area.
