36 itineraries to discover the splendors that Haute-Corse has in store for you.
Corsica is often described as a mountain-island, a mountain in the sea. Here, you shouldn't just chase the 2,000m peaks, since the mid-mountains are just as interesting, culturally richer, and the coastline is exceptional: you can hike along the coast for dozens of kilometers, two or three days in a row (in the north, in the Agriates and at the top of Cap Corse, in the south in the Sartenais) without seeing a single modern building. In the mountains, however, you will be surprised by the difficulty and originality of the routes, because you often walk, even on the GR® 20, on centuries-old paths that have character, in search of landscapes worthy of the Alps, also in search of traces of the old agro-pastoral economy. In short, hiking in Corsica is more demanding than you might think, the differences in altitude can be significant, but the discoveries are worth it: small sapphire lakes, grandiose pine forests, peaks, panoramic summits with views of the sea, and all of this, of course, most of the time under the sun (exactly).
