The Transhumance Trail is a long-distance hiking route that is lesser-known than the GR 20 but is deeply rooted in Corsican pastoral history. It connects the coastal plains of Balagne (Calenzana) to the high pastures of Niolu (Corscia), following the ancient mule path used by shepherds. The route is demanding and traverses wild nature, from chestnut forests to majestic high-altitude laricio pines. It crosses high passes, offering spectacular views of the island's central mountain range. This trail provides a cultural and physical immersion in Corsica Profonda, revealing ancient sheepfolds and authentic rural heritage.
