Highs & Lows

A pink sunrise that looked like a dream and sea of clouds on top of the mountains. The saucisson and the cheese are a must.

The weather was a but unpredictable, it's normal in the mountains. You can pack accordingly.

Itinerary Overview

We arrive in Calenzana. The excitement rises when we see the sign marking the departure. What exactly is waiting for us? 

We crossed Corsica from north to south on a difficult but worthwhile route. 

7 days of walking in breathtaking landscapes, starting in Calenzana, a nice village near Calvi. During the walk we were passing through other mountain villages such as Pietra Piana, Vizzavona. After it all, we spent a well deserved weekend in the beautiful town of Bonifacio after the end of the walk at Conca. There, we visited the "vieille ville" with our tired feet, enjoyed drinks at the port and ate in good restaurants.

The beautiful village where to regain strength, a good stay at the hostel, and a very good meal, in the evening and in the morning.

We arrive  with family and friends around  3 pm , the atmosphere is so chill , you can see  options  with a good  vibe all around 

the best part  is to sit and enjoy the sunset with a good  glass of wine, i really recommend this place for at least 2 days.

Here is a sublime town on the edge of a cliff, where you can dine in delicious restaurants, stroll along with the charming old port and enjoy a well-deserved rest after the effort.

The view is breathtaking, you can find different types of accommodations depending on your budget.

It was the end of our trip, so it was so  satisfactory to all of us, to finish  in such a beautiful place.
