Activity description

Take a 3-hour hike on Monte Ignascu near Ajaccio and discover beautiful Corsican landscapes!

Follow the Corsican hiking trails and discover the beauty of Monte Ignascu and the views it offers. From the belvedere at the top, you will be speechless at the view that awaits you.

Thanks to the guidance of your qualified mountain guide, you will be able to enjoy your hike to the fullest while getting to know the remarkable places on the route. Your guide, a connoisseur of hiking on Monte Ignascu, will do everything to share his passion for this sport with you!

Departing from San Petru, this hike on Monte Ignascu will take you on a journey among the chestnut trees and flowers endemic to Corsica. The start of the hike will be near the village of Cuttoli, where your immersion in the heart of the island's maquis will begin. On the path, you will come across numerous curiosities, in particular vestiges of the old chestnut economy: orchard, drying shed and mills. Then, at the top of Monte Aragnascu (or Ignascu), at 888 metres above sea level, you will be able to contemplate a superb 360° view over the bay of Ajaccio. From the viewpoint, you can also see the Gravona valley, dominated by the D'Oro and Rotondu mountain range, the backbone of Corsica.

As an option, you will have the opportunity to discover an essential part of hiking in Corsica: the spuntinu! This typically Corsican picnic, made up of local cheeses and charcuterie, is part of the island's mountain culture, so try it to enjoy a convivial and gourmet moment in the middle of nature!

After this hike on Monte Ignascu, you can end the day, if you wish, with a swim on the beaches of Ajaccio and its southern shore.
