How hard are the walks offered by Corsican Places?
We have walking holidays in Corsica to suit most abilities, but it’s very important to ensure that you choose the right walk for your level of fitness and your travelling companions. We have four levels, from leisurely to tough, so it’s important to check that the daily distances and terrain are within your capabilities, especially with the increased heat in Corsica.
Leisurely walks in Corsica
Available to most people who are generally fit and healthy and partake in some fitness throughout their daily life. The walks are three to four hours, with lower ascents of between 300-500m per day. You don’t have to be a seasoned hiker; they are a great way to introduce you to an active holiday.
Walks we offer that are leisurely:
Moderate walks in Corsica
Suited to those looking for an active holiday, these holidays will have four to five hours of walking every day on paths that don’t present technical difficulties. Ascents are around 500- 700m and are aimed at regular walkers who are fit and healthy and who enjoy regular exercise.
Walks we offer that are moderate:
Challenging walks in Corsica
To enjoy one of these walks, you must be fit, participate fully in sport several times a week and have been on active holidays before. Walks are challenging, between five and seven hours per day on varied and, in some parts, rough terrain. You must be able to walk on an incline for 600-1000m per day comfortably and at a steady pace. Good stamina is required, coupled with the ability to adapt to changing weather conditions.
Walks we offer that are challenging:
Tough walks in Corsica
The toughest challenge that requires very fit participants in excellent physical condition. Training is needed to ensure you have the stamina to push through for a number of days. Trekking experience is a must, as terrain is very challenging, with requirements to scramble in parts, with long walks of between six and nine hours per day. Uphill and downhill sections are frequent, with sections up to 1000m in altitude gain on some days. Temperatures and weather conditions vary severely, and backpacks and equipment will need to be carried.
