Day : Ajaccio - Calacuccia
Welcome in the morning in Ajaccio, around 8:30 am. Transfer to Calacuccia. The bus drives us on the small roads of the interior to the Niolu valley for our first steps.

Night in the Niolu valley.
Day 2: Ninu Lake
We walk up the Colga valley to the Ninu Lake. Free horses spend the summer on the large lawn that surrounds the lake. After the picnic we climb up to the Capu a u Tozzu (2007m). From the summit we enjoy a fantastic panorama to the Niolu valley and the highest mountains of Corsica. Then, we follow the famous GR20 to our lodge.
Night at the lodge Castel di Vergio.
Day 3: Vergio - Vergio
We enter the volcanic massif of Paglia Orba. We walk up on the GR20 along the Golu River surrounded by high summits.After a steep slope, we follow a very scenic ridge that leads us to the refuge of Ciottulu di i Mori (1991m).

Day 5: Evisa - Porto
On an old mule path we walk down the wild Spelunca gorge to the Genovese bridge of Zaglia. The mountain vegetation disappears and the wonderful smell of Mediterranean species take over. A last stop at the Genovese bridge of Ponte Vecchio and we join the cosy village of Ota. We follow the Mare e Monti trail and walk down towards the sea. The trail overlooks the sea and provides super views on the Gulf of Porto. There are only three colors: the red rocks, the blue sea and the green maquis. After a last steep slove we arrive at Porto Marina then at the beach. From the mountains we have reached the sea!
