It is located in the east of the island. Also from here you can reach everything well with the hired car and make a great road trip.

Activities in autumn and a tranquil silence in winter

The perfect time for an active holiday in Corsica is in autumn. A magical display of colors awaits you in the mountainous region of Castagniccia in eastern Corsica just a two-hour drive in your hired car from Bastia airport. The low mountain range is dominated by colorful chestnut forests, whose foliage turns colorful in autumn.

When temperatures are pleasant, trekking tours are recommended, such as day hikes on the long-distance trail Gr 20, Mare e Monti, the royal route of Corsica's hiking trails. It leads through the grandiose mountain world of the island's interior with high peaks, clear mountain lakes and small villages from Calenzana in the northwest over 180 km to Conca in the southeast of the island.  In autumn the trails are snow-free until mid-October.

Skiing with extraordinary view

In winter, temperatures on the coast hover around the 10 degree mark and you can take endless beach walks in the fresh air in peace and solitude. Even winter sports enthusiasts get their money's worth on Corsica. Between December and the beginning of March there is a blanket of snow in the mountains and in the three small ski resorts in the central high mountains you can whiz down the easy to moderately difficult slopes with the unique view of the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Ski resorts in Corsica:

  • Val d'Ese à Bastelica
  • Ghisoni Capanelle
  • Haut Asco
Driveboo tip:

Corsica has an exceptional charm in the pre-Christmas period, but the search for accommodation can be somewhat difficult as many hotels are closed.
