Ascent to the peak
Acknowledged as one of the loveliest footpaths of Corsica, this hike of 7 kilometres by the sea offers you, with every step, an ever more fabulous landscape: the rose granite of the cliff mixed with the blue turquoise of the sea is picture-postcard scenery.
From the Capo Rosso car park, it will take you around 1 hour 40 minutes to reach the Genoese watchtower in Turghu, constructed to in excess of 330 metres high. A stone stairway enables you to climb to the top of the campanile and gaze at the magnificent 360° view over the rocky inlets of the town of Piana and the Golfe de Scandola bay The path itself is not difficult, but in particular do not forget to bring shoes adapted to the walk and several bottles of water, as there is no shade on the footpath.
