Description

Join me for a beautiful hike with your friends and family to the Coscione Plateau. Located in the wonderful island of Corsica, France, this place is full of stunning landscapes and easy paths for all types of hikers.

I’ve planned an itinerary that will allow us to relish the incredible views the Plateau has to offer, including pastures, flowers and mountain peaks. We’ll even be able to bathe at washbasins and camp under the stars. You can check the itinerary below for more information. Keep in mind it may change depending on weather conditions and the group’s level.

This is an intermediate level hike and everybody is welcome. However, do make sure that you’ve trained a bit to endure 3 full days of hiking. Also, you will need to bring a 20-30 liter backpack, hiking boots, waterproof jacket and pants, hat, gloves and warm clothes, a jacket, personal hygiene and pharmacy equipment, sunscreen and lip balm, sunglasses and water. I can guide you on the preparation of your backpack if you wish. Be aware that the weather may change very fast in the mountains and you need to be prepared.

Are you ready for a fun hiking adventure in Corsica? Then gather your friends and family and get ready for a beautiful experience. Send your request today!

Furthermore, if you’re looking for more adventures in the area, you can also join me on a 3-day hike to Alta Rocca, Corsica or 5-day hike on the GR20 route.

Mountain Guide

I am a mountain leader based in Quenza, Corsica. I am state-certified and offer hiking and snowshoeing tours around this beautiful island. And for your added safety, I'm also a firefighter and lifeguard. I enjoy the feeling of freedom I get when in the mountains and also the humbleness that they require. The mountain is wonderful when shared!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
