ULTRA TRAIL DI CORSICA

ULTRA TRAIL DI CORSICA

From 09/07 to 11/07.

Experience total immersion in the wild grandeur of Corsica The 110km route takes you through some of Corsica's most spectacular scenery, with challenging trails winding between deep valleys, soaring ridges and high-altitude glacial lakes. Departing from Corte, in the heart of the Restonica gorges, you begin an intense 1,400-metre ascent, offering breathtaking views over the Tavignanu valley and the Monte Rotondo range. Along the way, you'll discover natural gems: the ancestral sheepfolds of Padule and Cogna, Lake Ninu and its alpine pastures, and the majestic Capitellu and Melu nestling in an enchanting alpine setting. The high passes, such as Bocca Crucetta at 2,415 m, offer spectacular views of the Corsican mountains. This is a unique opportunity to get close to the roof of Corsica: Monte Cintu. Each section of the route reveals a new facet of the island: forests of hundred-year-old pines, shady valleys and alpine plateaux where raw beauty meets wild serenity. More than just a race, this adventure is a celebration of resilience, technical skill and communion with an exceptional territory. Reserved for seasoned runners, this ultimate challenge invites you to push back your limits while exploring the authentic, untamed soul of Corsica.
