Walking in Corsica is experienced walker Gillian Price’s Cicerone guide to the best walking opportunities that are available on this picturesque island. The guide covers walks through a range of landscapes, including towering forests, isolated coves and river gorges and describes three coast-to-coast routes through the island’s mountainous interior. There is also a selection of shorter-day walks for those planning a day of walking.

The guide is organised into two main sections – Long-Distance walks and Shorter Walks – describing the Mare e Monti, Mare-Mare Nord and Mare-Marie Sud over 26 days and a selection of a further 18 walks through the island’s prime spots. The long-distance routes are divided into daily sections and information is provided on walking time, distance, difficulty grading, the relevant maps and the start and finish points. The shorter walks have a similar format and also included information on the total ascent and descent of each walk. A detailed introduction gives practical advice on getting to Corsica, local transport, what to take, accommodation and food and drink. There is also information on Corsica’s plant life and indigenous wildlife. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour sketch diagrams mapping the route in addition to colour photo graphs illustrating some of the highlights of the region.
