Corsica - Cap Corse

You follow the customs officers' path directly along the sea shore and discover the nature reserve of the Finocchiarola Islands, the impressive ruins of the Genoese tower of Santa Maria and numerous hidden beach bays. Your destination is the northernmost village in Corsica, Barcaggio. From there, a boat trip takes you back to Macinaggio, with the opportunity for a refreshing swim en route.

Short transfer to Barcaggio, then follow the customs officers' path again, which winds along the cliffs above the coast through the maquis. A wild and unspoilt landscape awaits you. Enjoy a break at the tower of Tollare and the semaphore before reaching the charming fishing village of Centuri.

You first walk along the coast and then climb up to the hamlet of Morsiglia and the picturesque chapel of Notre Dame des Grâces. From there, you continue along the ridge, from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the coastal landscape, and at the tower of Sénèque you have a magnificent panoramic view of the Mediterranean.

Descending through the fragrant maquis, you come across the remains of long-forgotten agropastoral farming. You reach the Pinzu a Vergine menhir and continue your hike along the ridge that takes you over the highest peaks of Cap Corse. You will cross the former summer pastures, where old sheep farms and mountain springs can still be found today.

Above the Gulf of Saint Florent, you walk through a landscape marked by fires on old mule tracks that once connected the villages. Your hike culminates in the picturesque village of Nonza, which is spectacularly perched on a 200 metre high rocky outcrop. Afterwards, transfer back to Saint Florent, where your hiking tour ends.
