FAQ

Mare a Mare tours can be enjoyed from March to October. In spring, you can discover the flowers of the maquis, with its thousand colours and strong essences; in summer, you can enjoy swimming and the shade of the forest-covered passages; and in the autumn, you can appreciate the special light and tranquillity of the villages.

The official guidebook is entitled 'Corse Entre mer et montagne'. It is published by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre (FFRandonnée) and the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse (Parcu di Corsica). The guide describes six routes: the "Mare e Monti", the "Mare a Mare" and the "Sentier de la Transhumance". It is available to buy online from the FFRandonnée shop.

The Mare a Mare trails present no particular technical difficulties and are less demanding than the GR20. The trail is well signposted, with signs all along the way. Of the three trails, Mare a Mare North is considered the most difficult. In general, these trails require an intermediate to advanced level of hiking. They cross a wide variety of terrain, including mountainous areas with steep slopes, forest passages and coastal paths. The routes can be long and often include significant ascents and descents, requiring good stamina and experience of mountain walking. Although some sections are accessible to less experienced hikers, basic self-sufficiency in navigation, water and food management, and knowledge of first aid are recommended. Good physical condition is also recommended to manage the daily stages, which can last several hours.

In Corsican, "Mare a Mare" means "From Sea to Sea," referring to hiking trails that cross the island from west to east or vice versa. There are three main routes: Mare a Mare Nord, Mare a Mare Centre, and Mare a Mare Sud.

Developed by the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse, these trails offer a unique opportunity to discover the diversity and natural beauty of Corsica while immersing yourself in its culture and history. The trails are generally well-marked with orange paint and informative signs.

All in all, the gîtes were quite decent, some of them wonderful for their welcome and catering after a day's walking.

Fiejette 22/09/2024 Mare a Mare South, Porto-Vecchio to Propriano

Accommodation is very good, with perhaps a slight downside for the last accommodation in Saint André, which was a little below the others.
