What are the signs like?

Tra Mare e Monti trails are clearly marked with orange paint stripes on rocks, walls and trees, and sometimes with the letters TMM. There are also signs at junctions to help you find your way around. Despite this obvious signposting, it's advisable to take a detailed map and GPS with you, especially when exploring the variants of the trail.

What's the best time of year to go on the Mare e Monti trails?

The best time to go on a Mare e Monti is from the beginning of April to the end of October, when the accommodations are open. Spring and autumn are particularly recommended for small-group hikes, as these are ideal times for those who fear the heat. During the summer, it's essential to pack enough water and set off early in the morning to avoid the heat.

How difficult are the Mare e Monti tours?

The walks on the Mare e Monti are of medium difficulty, mainly due to the length of some stages and the differences in altitude encountered on certain days.

What kind of accommodation is available?

Accommodation on the Mare e Monti route is open mainly from the beginning of April to the end of October. Most of it consists of gîtes d'étape, which offer sleeping accommodation in dormitories or double rooms. As well as gîtes, other accommodation options are available, such as hotels, bed & breakfasts and campsites.

Why choose this route?

The Mare e Monti trails are suitable for everyone. They are some of the most beautiful walks on the island, focusing on wild, unspoilt areas. The Mare e Monti Nord is easily accessible, being just 10km south of Calvi. The Mare e Monti Sud starts very close to Ajaccio, and the return journey by bus at the end of your stay is very easy to organise.

What should you take with you on a Mare e Monti?

For hiking on the Mare e Monti, we recommend you take the following equipment: hiking boots, clothing suitable for the mountains (fleece, windproof jacket, etc.), gloves and a hat, a rucksack, walking poles, topographical map, compass and GPS, a first-aid kit and a headlamp, Water and snacks, sun screen and sunglasses, a knife and rain gear.

Roadtrips

The Roadtrip concept combines car travel with short hikes. You can bring your own vehicle or rent one on site.

To discover Corsica at your own pace and without logistical hassles, we offer a pre-established programme of self-guided excursions, which you can modify as you wish during your stay. Whether using your own vehicle or a rental car, you'll have the flexibility to travel and explore throughout your trip.

Set the date of your journey, and leave the rest to us! We'll handle booking your accommodation, planning the hikes, and providing you with a complete set of documents, including IGN maps and a personalised roadbook designed by us. Additionally, you'll have access to our guidance app, which will be your companion throughout your adventure.

We would have liked to have had a message on the last day, about the hike to monte cinto which was impassable due to snow.

Thanks to Christina ... who was a great help right up to the last day. Thanks to the whole team. It was a really nice trip with great hikes.

All in all, a very good week.

Paul 05/09/2023 Roadtrip - GR20 North

Very good organization and support from your agency. One small drawback is the hotel you use in Corte.

A mix of wild scenery, and typical Corsican villages. A beautiful route.
