Day 1: Corte

Corsica reigns over the Mediterranean with its rich landscapes and natural beauty: golden sandy beaches, hidden coves, small villages nestled in the hills, and crystal-clear lakes hidden in the wild mountains. There is no better way to explore this island than on horseback, and complete immersion in nature will help you understand why it is called the "Île de Beauté."
This fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean surprises with its variety of landscapes: mountains that plunge directly into the blue sea, beaches, and forests that cover 20% of the land, watered by numerous streams. The mountains represent two-thirds of the island, forming a single mountain range. More than half of the island is located in the Regional Natural Park, and five days on horseback will allow you to discover Corsica's many facets. An island of a thousand colors and wild charm.
