Corte

— Journey —

1 h 30 from Ajaccio

Corte is the soul of inland Corsica — the island's historic capital under Pasquale Paoli, a citadel town clinging to a rocky spur where two mountain rivers meet. FFGR Corsica chauffeurs patrons into the heart of the island for the Restonica and Tavignano gorges, glacial lakes reached on foot, and the Museum of Corsica housed within the citadel. The university town keeps an intellectual, authentic character far from the coastal glamour. We arrange mountain guides for the Lac de Melo and Lac de Capitello, lunches in the high pastures, and tastings of brocciu and chestnut specialities that define the Corsican interior.
