The Rother Walking Guide to Corsica has 56 very diverse walks with 56 maps at 1:50, 000 scale. Among hikers & mountain climbers, Corsica is no longer a secret. The long-distance alpine hiking trail GR 20 is especially popular, & a few tours in this guide follow portions of that route. The undisputed highlight, however, are the towering peaks of the two-thousand metre mountains Monte Cinto, Monte Rotondo, Paglia Orba & Monte d' Oro, which place the breathtaking, small world of the Mountain Range in the Sea at the feet of hikers. But also nature lovers with less than alpine interests, & even die-hard Corsica fans will love this walking guide. In addition to the main tourist routes, the author presents a number of less known walking options, from a beach walk to an adventurous cascade tour, to an easy panoramic summit. Most of these tours can be undertaken by families with children & elderly persons without difficulty. Lots of tips & information round out this well-executed walking guide & make it a must when travelling in the unique mountain landscape of Corsica. This new edition has been newly updated
