Haute-Corse is a wild and luminous land, marked by the diversity of its landscapes, with sea, hilltop villages and majestic mountains. Bastia captivates visitors with its colourful old port, lively alleyways and citadel steeped in history. At Corte, the former capital of independent Corsica, the citadel overlooks spectacular valleys, ideal for hiking to glacial lakes. Further west, Balagne reveals artisan villages bathed in light and a coastline of crystal-clear waters, from Calvi to Île-Rousse. Between traditions, raw nature and heritage, Haute-Corse embodies the most authentic essence of the island of Beauty.

The Haute-Corse region, a vast and contrasting territory, is captivating for its fierce identity and preserved authenticity. Here, winding roads open onto spectacular panoramas: fragrant scrubland, Genoese towers watching over the sea, steep mountain ranges and hilltop villages sculpted by time.
A destination with character, it charms hiking enthusiasts as much as travellers in search of secret beaches, history and Corsican gastronomy. From Bastia to Cap Corse, via Corte and Balagne, every nook and cranny reveals a deep and sincere Corsica.
The Agriates Desert, which is much more lively than its name suggests, is home to the legendary beaches of Saleccia and Lotu, some of the most beautiful in Europe. The Cap Corse, "the island within the island", is a jewel suspended between sea and mountains. Its villages clinging to the cliffs, its mills, vineyards and Genoese towers tell the story of Corsican sailors and families deeply attached to their land.
Finally, trekking enthusiasts will find an exceptional playground here: from the mythical GR20, considered to be one of the most difficult trails in Europe, to the Restonica valleys leading to the glacial lakes of Melo and Capitello, Haute-Corse brings together the most grandiose aspects of Corsican nature.
The story goes that in Cap Corse, the old sailors used to plant a cypress tree near their family homes. Visible from afar, it served as a landmark: as long as the cypress stood proudly, it meant that the house was alive and waiting for them to return. Today, these majestic trees are still a symbol of attachment and protection.
"Corsica, this piece of mountain thrown into the sea, offers those who contemplate it the most beautiful face of freedom."
