Giru di Tumbone: 17km. Explore Corte and the surrounding area The Giru di Tumbone, with its 17km and 650m ascent, is an invitation to explore the splendours of Corsica. Ideal for beginner runners or those looking for a short but technical format, this route immerses you in the authentic world of the Corsican mountains, between heritage and wilderness. As soon as you set off from Corte, the hustle and bustle of the town gives way to picturesque, varied trails. You'll take the old Mare a Mare Nord mule track, passing through some enchanting landscapes: the crests of Monte Tumbone, a passage through the forest on the outskirts of the villages of Sainte Lucia di Mercoriu and Tralonca, and breathtaking views over Corte and the Rotondu massif. The return journey is marked by a playful descent through a chestnut grove, before returning to the plains that herald the finish. The loop finishes in style in the old town of Corte, dominated by its citadel. This playful, accessible format is a perfect first approach to the technical trails of Corsica, where each stride reveals striking landscapes.
