Overview

This Corsica train & hiking tour requires a moderate level of fitness. You’ll walk from 2 to 4 hours per day for 6 consecutive days, covering 2 to 12 km (1.2 to 7.5 miles) with elevation gains of up to 450 m (1,476 ft). The terrain varies from gentle coastal paths to steeper, rocky trails. This self-guided journey will weave between sandy beaches, granite peaks, and historic coastal towns—all connected by a charming railway. You’ll explore three distinct regions over eight days: Calvi's peninsula trails, Corte's shepherd paths and mountain gorges, and Ajaccio's coastal walks.
