The Alta Rocca

THE ESSENTIALS OF CORSICA

Do you prefer the sea or the mountains?

During the summer...

There is a risk of fire in the Alta Rocca woodlands and across the whole region! When planning your outings and excursions, make a habit of checking the Prefecture’s risk map to find out about access conditions to natural sites and any current restrictions. 

LET YOUR SENSES GUIDE YOU

The Alta Rocca, a land of sea and mountains, offers a wide variety of landscapes and atmospheres. In less than an hour's drive, you can go from the heavenly beaches of Solenzara to the heights of Bavella, passing through authentic inland villages. 

Discover the harmonious contrast between the coast and the relief, whose constant dialogue is revealed in every panorama. Complementarity, serenity and sincerity make the Alta Rocca a region that represents the essence of Corsica.
