Activity description
From Vizzavona, set off on a 3.5 hour hike over the Vizzavona pass and discover magnificent, typically Corsican landscapes!
Thanks to the supervision of your state-qualified mountain leader, you will be able to enjoy your hike to the full while getting to know the remarkable places on the route. Your guide, a connoisseur of hiking on the Vizzavona pass, will do everything to share his passion for this area with you!
Follow the paths of the Vizzavona forest, a place full of history and legends! The hike will start at the Vizzavona pass, where you will take an old road, the "allée des tilleuls", then the GR20 to the famous "cascades des anglais". These waterfalls are not very big but they are sublime and give a particular atmosphere to the valley! You will walk along the Agnone river before taking a picnic break in the middle of nature, near natural basins.
After having regained your strength, you will leave the beaten track and discover Corsican sheepfolds at the foot of the Monte d'Oro. On the way back, you will enjoy superb views of the Oriente massif and the valley floor. A stop is also planned at the Fort de Vaux de Vizzavona, today in ruins and classified as a historical monument since 1996.
As an option, you will be able 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 the Vizzavona pass, you can end the day, if you wish, with a swim on the beaches of Ajaccio and its southern shore.
To recharge your batteries in the middle of nature near Ajaccio, book your hike on the Vizzavona pass and spend a convivial moment in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of Corsica!
