Here are 5 sports you can practice to make the most of the island:
Scuba diving: Porto Vecchio, L’île-Rousse, Calvi, Porticcio. These are the four most popular destinations to enjoy your scuba diving.
You don't have to be an expert, there are plenty of possibilities even for beginners, both solo and in a group.

Trekking: The best hikes to do in Corsica? There are many possibilities for trekking: paths suitable for beginners and others perfect for the more experienced. To start we recommend the route from Vallée du Fango to Flusslauf; the one from Gipfelkreuz to Capu di a Veta is more difficult.

Snorkeling: Almost the entire Corsican coast is very suitable for snorkeling: mild temperatures, sandy beaches and a protected marine ecosystem. Among the marine species, you can admire: octopuses, morays, bream and wrasse: colorful fish with big lips. Not to be missed, the marine reserve of Palombaggia beach.

Canyoning: In Corsica there is also space for canyoning enthusiasts.
The most famous canyon is the Richiusa canyon in Bocognano (45 minutes from Ajaccio). Here you can enjoy diving, abseiling and Tyrolean descents.

Cycling: For cyclists, here are the best routes: from Calanches to Vue sur plage de Porto to skirt the crystal clear sea. From Col de Teghime to Col de la Serra, to cross and visit all of the Cap Corse.
