Book description

Guide to walking three of Corsica's long-distance routes - Mare e Monti, Mare-Mare Nord and Mare-Mare Sud - together with 18 day walks both in the rugged mountains of the interior and the softer southern coastal fringe. The 'scented isle', or Corsica, is a paradise for walkers and leads to a memorable holiday. The long-distance walking routes criss-crossing this magnificent island are stunning and add up to 26 days through the rugged mountainous interior and the softer south, and along the exceptional coastal fringe. A supplementary section has a selection of 18 day walks in prime spots, allowing you to explore the towering forests, gushing cascades, beautiful isolated coves, aromatic maquis and spectacular river gorges. Top scenery and unspoilt nature are unavoidable! A fantastic range of comfortable hostels and well-run hotels ensure the walker is never far from their overnight stop and the enjoyment of some excellent catering. With its informative colour maps and photographs this is the long-distance walker's ultimate guide to the randonnées of Corsica. Gillian Price has explored the mountains of Italy and Corsica, bringing them to life in a series of outstanding guides. She is member of the Italian Alpine Club and Outdoor Writers' Guild.
