There are many opportunities to add more walking if you’re up for it. If you choose the challenging options you must have hiking experience and can negotiate rocky, technical terrain. You don’t mind a little scrambling along the way and you must be confident at orienteering and using a compass.

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.
From March the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season is by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue).
In June, July and August the hikes should be completed early, especially the ones in Calvi & Tavignano gorge. At the end of March/April and October/November, there is a risk of snow fall in Corte (mountain Lakes).
See the weather information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
