Explore the magical world of the island of Corsica with your own two feet by following me on this 9-day hiking adventure through Alta Rocca and southern Corsica!
Trekking is one of the best ways to discover this breathtaking island. Located southeast of the French mainland and in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Corsica is one of the 18 regions of France and offers one of the best places in Europe to go hiking, climbing and more!
During this 9-day program, my proposal is to explore the Alta Rocca region located in the south part of the island. Some of the highlights we’ll discover are the Cuscionu pleateau, the Bavella peaks, the beautiful beaches of Campomoro and Roccapina and don’t forget about Bonifacio and its white cliffs!
Furthermore, I encourage all enthusiast hikers and nature lovers to join me on this unique adventure. However, bear in mind that every day we’ll walk between 4 and 5 hours and that it’s important that all hikers have a good fitness level.

Mountain Guide
I am a mountain leader based in Quenza, Corsica. I am state-certified and offer hiking and snowshoeing tours around this beautiful island. And for your added safety, I'm also a firefighter and lifeguard. I enjoy the feeling of freedom I get when in the mountains and also the humbleness that they require. The mountain is wonderful when shared!
