Discover the famous pozzines and the Scaldasole ridge on an unforgettable hike from the Plateau d'Ese!

Discover one of Corsica's most emblematic landscapes on this hike into the heart of the mountains! Departing from the Plateau d'Ese or the Col de Verde, you'll set off on a 5-6 hour loop through wild, unspoilt scenery. This excursion is an invitation to get away from it all, where the rugged peaks meet the softness of the high-altitude meadows, offering a natural spectacle of rare beauty.

After meeting the guide and listening to a briefing on the route, you'll begin your ascent through a forest of hundred-year-old beech trees with an enchanting atmosphere. The route will take you to the mountain sheepfolds and the Foce d'Astre hut, true witnesses of island pastoral life. It's here, in this authentic setting, that your guide will share with you the local stories and traditions that make up the soul of this region.

The highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the discovery of the famous pozzines, the meadows with a thousand waterholes typical of the Corsican relief, which form an almost unreal landscape. The cruise continues towards the Scaldasole ridge, where a breathtaking 360° panorama awaits you. From up there, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the Gulf of Ajaccio and the surrounding peaks, a perfect moment for a contemplative break.

Organised in small groups to ensure a friendly and privileged experience, this outing is ideal for nature lovers and those who love the great outdoors. This hike with a local guide is guaranteed to give you access to unique viewpoints and to teach you all you need to know about the island's biodiversity and heritage.

Don't wait any longer to experience this total immersion between heaven and earth on the Scaldasole ridge from the Ese plateau!
