Short Treks on Corsica : Five mountain and coastal treks including the Mare a Mare and Mare e Monti

From exposed coastal paths around Cap Corse to classic mountain-to-sea routes through the island's wild interior, these walks reveal Corsica's striking contrasts, rich biodiversity, and distinctive local culture. Designed for hikers and walkers with good fitness, the five short treks range from accessible coastal outings to longer multi-day walking routes through forested hills and remote uplands. Each route is presented in daily stages of 8–18km (5–11 miles), finishing where accommodation is available. The included treks are the 2-day Sentier du Douanier, the 10-day Mare e Monti, the 11-day Mare a Mare Nord, the 5-day Mare a Mare Sud, and the 5-day Mare e Monti Sud—offering flexibility to mix, match, or adapt your Corsican hiking itinerary. This practical guidebook includes clear, step-by-step walking directions with detailed 1:50,000 mapping and elevation profiles for every stage, downloadable GPX files for all five routes, refreshment and accommodation details for every stage, and practical hiking advice on planning, preparation, and the best time to walk. Enriching notes on Corsican plants, wildlife, and local cuisine help you make the most of the diverse landscapes you'll encounter.
