Adrenalin sports are plentiful in the island’s interior.

Corsica has an abundance of waterways due to the heavy snowfalls experienced during winter in the high mountains and as a consequence in spring, the water levels of the rivers rise to provide exciting white water opportunities for canoeists and rafters, experts and beginners alike, with some splendid and spectacular descents.

Canyoning

Why not try canyoning? An adventure sport involving following streams and rivers on foot, with abseiling descents and swimming involved. The operation of canyoning is dependant on appropriate weather conditions and the level of the water in the river. The activity is not operational at times of particularly high (or low) water and we suggest you contact the operator earlier in your holiday rather than later, in order to avoid disappointment. Companies have qualified guides and the necessary equipment but participants should have a reasonable level of fitness and be competent swimmers. If you are interested in canyoning we suggest booking accommodation in Piana, Calvi or Porto as there are sites nearby. Your Corsican Places Representative will be able to provide details of operating companies.

Climbing

While not possessing the prestige of the Alps, climbing in Corsica can be impressive, with everything from short cliffs to challenging climbs, the pinnacle of which are the Bavella needles. Within an hour's drive of the coast, the valleys around Corte offer some of the most exhilarating rock climbing opportunities in Europe, with superb views over the surrounding mountains and valleys. Many of the climbs are quite technically difficult and require a degree of competence and fitness. For short climbs the island's chalk cliffs are the most rewarding; these run in a seam from L'Ile Rouse (on the northwest coast) to Solenzara (on the east coast).
