Mare e Monti North walking holiday

It is a good idea to get fit for this trip. The more time you put in before you leave, the more you will get out of the walking. You should do regular aerobic exercise in preparation for the hills. Walking regularly with a rucksack is the best way to make sure you are fit enough for the Corsican hills and enjoy the trip to the fullest.

You can expect to encounter some very wide-ranging temperatures. During the walks, you should be ready for everything; take powerful sun protection, as well as warm fleeces and a weatherproof jacket. Corsica is known for its microclimates, and each valley can be very different. The weather can change quickly, and the mountains generate some stormy, often unpredictable weather.

Breakfasts are continental style. Evening meals are three-course affairs using local produce. We recommend that you bring your preferred trail food, or high-energy bars for the walks. Picnics can be purchased daily from bakers or small supermarkets.

Bring sufficient cash to cover your personal expenses, including snacks and drinks. Bottled water, soft drinks, beer and wine, and coffee are all expensive. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to change money here and trying to find a working cash machine can be tricky. We recommend bringing all the euros you need with you in cash.
