Corsica. Mare to Mare (Center)

From Serra-di-Fiumorbo (Upper-Corsica) to Grosseto-Prugna (South-Corsica)

The Mare a Mare trail, linking the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Mediterranean, winds through ancient chestnut forests, the cornerstone of Corsica's historic rural economy. Crossing mountain passes, hikers discover the Upper Taravo Valley and the village of Cozzano, a bastion of a still vibrant pastoral heritage. Between Tasso and Guitera-les-Bains, thermal springs offer a welcome respite amidst dense vegetation of Corsican pine and beech trees. The route then meanders through Frasseto and Quasquara, granite villages with narrow streets steeped in history and tradition. Descending towards Buselica, the maquis reclaims its territory, releasing the scents of rockrose and heather, before the horizon opens onto the Gulf of Ajaccio. The arrival at Grosseto-Prugna and the end on the beach of Porticcio mark a striking contrast between the rigor of the central mountains and the clarity of the coastal waters.
