The lost book of Senetosa

A night of tall tales of bandits, lost treasures, Maharajas and the Queen Victoria is the last thing an "Anglaise" expects in a remote lighthouse in Corsica and when a strange turn of events lead us to a long lost book, we just had to send it home. The question is what more stories are there to be told...?

New GR20 treks

The GR20 is the grail, a challenging long distance hiking trail that crosses the Corsican mountains. With 200km of trail following the granite backbone of mountains that divide the island in two, and peaks of over 2000m altitude. The GR20 is the best and toughest long distance hike out there!

The Restonica Valley - Melo & Capitello

In many of the guide books the technical aspects of the walk up to LAC DE MELO are underestimated and it is often presented as a quick jaunt you can do in flip flops. This is far from realistic; but don't be surpised to see people trying, along with beach bags and lap dogs !

USS Corsica

Sheltering around 50,000 US soldiers and airmen, Corsica was a stategic base towards the end of the Second World War, and there are still traces if you know where to look. The island was likened to an unsinkable aircraft carrier which, by its strategic position, played an important role for the allies.

The Eco-Hiker

Corsica's Tourist board promotes the “Island of Beauty” as a "natural reserve in its raw state", attracting and moitivating visitors with its wild and preserved landscape and its pleasant climate. Enthusiasm for hiking and the great outdoors has never been stronger, so how can you limit your environmental impact…?

Just another summer in Corsica?

As we look back on the 2021 season, it is with a little remorse as we saw few of our overseas guests that we enjoy welcoming to Corsica. Our English team were despatched to help out with logistics, picnics and our guided groups, where they took duty phone calls, transferred clients and dealt with guides on the terrain.

Occi, the ghost village

The Balagne region is situated in the North West of the island. Known as the garden of Corsica, it has rolling hillsides, vineyards, perched villages, as well as some beautiful wild beaches. Amongst the many places to visit in the Balagne is an abandoned village, called Occi.

Colours of Autumn

The excitement of summer simmers down and walkers are few and far between. The island of beauty offers some glorious colours in the Autumn. With the transition from summer to winter, the high slopes glow with golden orange leaves and red berries.

Genoese Towers

The Moor's Head

The Moor's Head is the Corsican symbol and it can be seen on flags throughout the island, but not on just flags, Corsican owned boats; properties and aircraft, even our logo carry this symbol, but where does it find its origins...?

Punta del Ceppo, Vizzavona

The itinerary is short, dramatic and alpine. It leads swiftly up to a summit with a memorable panorama, offering a view of the island’s outline in the sea. A bucolic shepherd’s cabin, a taste of the GR20, sun baked rocks, swimming in a giant rock pool at the Cascade des Anglais.

GR20 Records

The GR20 is considered the hardest long distance trail and for most people the trail takes two around weeks, a challenge at the best of times. Imagine the exploit to run it in just over thirty hours, that is just what Lambert Santelli, a 34 year old from Lavatoghju in the Balagne near Calvi did !
