The shops in this village situated in the centre of the valley on the shores of a man-made lake add to its lively atmosphere. Calacuccia is surrounded by a magnificent ring of mountains, cloaked in greenery and criss-crossed by old transhumance footpaths, as well as long-distance paths such as the GR 20 and Mare à Mare Nord. It is an idyllic spot which is just as appealing in winter as in the cool shade of the plane trees in summer. A perfect location for fishing and hunting, Calacuccia is without a doubt one of the highlights of Corsica, situated in the heart of the highest valley on the island.
