Interesting spots/trails
Corsica brings together so much of what makes a holiday special: turquoise waters, fragrant maquis and mountain villages with sweeping views. Around Calvi, hiking trails follow the coast and lead into the green interior. We’ve picked four special hikes for you and included them in the retreat:
From Col de Palmarella, we hike down to the fishing village of Girolata, which can only be reached on foot or by boat. We then follow a narrow, scenic trail to the secluded bay of Tuara. This unique circular hike ends at Col de la Croix.
Full-day hike | Walking time: approx. 4 hours | 400 m ascent / 500 m descent | Return bus journey: 2.5 hours | Busfahrt hin & retour 2,5 Std.
We hike uphill from Île-Rousse via Occiglione to Sant’Antonino, with the option to climb Monte Sant’Angelo (562 m). We then descend along an old donkey trail to Corbara Monastery and the artists’ village of Pigna before continuing to the beautiful sandy beach of Aregno.
Full-day hike | Walking time: approx. 5–6 hours | 600 m ascent and descent
Starting at Punta di Spanu, we hike and scramble along the cliffs, staying close to the sea and passing secluded coves and striking rock formations on our way to Arinella Beach.
Half-day hike | Walking time: approx. 2.5–3 hours
In the Fango Valley, we follow an old seasonal herding trail across salmon-coloured volcanic rock. Beautiful natural pools invite us to stop for a refreshing swim along the way. The hike ends either in the small village of Bardiana in the upper Fango Valley or at Ponte Vecchio bridge, where we can stop for refreshments.
