The mountain island

If you like mountains, you will love Corsica.


Corsica is “a mountain in the sea”, where the Dantesque landscapes of mountain peaks and lakes alternate with vast, peaceful plateaux. With 120 summits above 2 000 m, snow-capped in winter, Corsica is the most mountainous, greenest and coolest island in the Mediterranean. The mountain is Corsica’s heart, the guardian of her traditions and identity, and the natural setting for villages of sturdily built stone cottages. The mountain of Corsica is therefore a favourite destination for those seeking encounters and discoveries, as well as enthusiasts of horse-riding, walking, mountain-biking, paragliding, climbing and even skiing, since the island also offers a number of sites for the practice of snow sports... with views of the sea!
