Hiking in Gorges du Tavignano: trails, map and practical info

Probably the least visited Gorges around Corté, making it perfect for those seeking solitude. The only way to get there is by footpaths, with the 600m elevation gain over 12km providing a good workout that takes around 4.5 hours. One path leads to the scenic Rossolinu footbridge via a pleasant south-facing route with excellent sun exposure. The bravest can swim in the crystal-clear natural basins, though water temperatures hover around 10-12°C even in mid-September. The moderate difficulty level makes it accessible to most hikers.

Go there early (9h max) and out of season to fully appreciate this hidden gem - it's incredibly beautiful! The morning light illuminates the gorge walls magnificently, and visiting outside peak times means you'll have the natural pools and dramatic rock formations mostly to yourself. The challenging terrain with 600m elevation gain over 12km makes early starts essential to avoid afternoon heat. Budget at least 4.5 hours for the complete circuit to truly enjoy this magnificent Haute-Corse location.

Very enjoyable hike with substantial elevation gain that tests your endurance over the 12km distance. Rather difficult all the same with the 600m climb taking around 4.5 hours, but the reward at the end is worth the effort. A magnificent swimming spot with pristine natural pools awaits you. Be careful, the place gets rather busy in summer with about fifty people on the day of my walk. Plan accordingly for peak season visits to this stunning Haute-Corse gorge.
