Hiking path Mare a Mare Nord

WALK ACROSS CORSICA

The «Mare a Mare» are footpaths which cross Corsica from one sea to sea, from East to West and vice versa. Over several days, they reveal a rich heritage and a preserved wildlife.







The Mare a Mare 'North' starts in Moriani-Plage and ends in Cargèse. From valley to valley, the path goes to the feet of the highest mounts of Corsica such as the Monte Cintu (2706m) ant the Paglia d'Orba (2525m), the forests of Valdu Niellu or Aïtone, and the Tavignanu and Golu rivers. There is a southern variant which avoid Corte while passing through Sermanu to Marignana.







This footpath is praticable from mid-April to November, and advised during winter because of some snow-capped parts at 1500m above sea-level. It contains 12 stages of about 3 to 6 hours each.
