WALKING

The walk is moderate + walk. Walks average 12.5km with 600m of elevation each day, which takes around 5 hours. Due to rocky terrain, some trails can be more rocky than others, and therefore may take some time to walk if you are not used to this type of terrain. We do our best to calculate a fair estimation of the walk, the indicated walking time is based on no rest, no stop, no picnic, this time can vary according to walking abilities.

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.

This is a beautiful area with many fabulous historic attractions on top of the fabulous walking routes, with an overarching mountainous and uneven/rocky terrain.

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

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.

INSURANCE

We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.

We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office.  See the FAQ section for more information.

INFORMATION PACK

For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.
