Great little book full of concise guides to walks all over Corsica, with helpful maps and descriptions that really do make it easy to decide which walks you'd like to do. Almost all are day walks, of varying (but clearly described) grade. Very compact size. As a purist and obsessed with safety I'd definitely recommend getting hold of the 1:25000 IGN maps of the regions you intend to walk in as well, though.

Unsuitable for GR20
20 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
(Note: I have read the french version of this book)
Despite the fact that this book as some information about the GR20 (with explicit mention in both the foreward and introduction section), it does not cover the GR20 has one may expect. Bits of trails are mentionned here and there, no chronological information regarding GR20 steps, and so on. Besides, the index is so badly put in place that I could not find information about crucial GR20 point of interest (Calinzana - Ortu di u Piobbu? Cirque de la Solitude? Ascu Stagnu? ...)
This book may be good for the one looking for day hike with no particular multiday backpacking in mind but I would not recommend this book for the one planning for the GR20, mare a mare, or mare a monti.
It is worth to mention that this book contains very nice pictures unseen anywhere else (actually took by the author) which gives a nice impression about the flora and fauna, mountains, and such.

Good for hikes
8 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Seems that everyone that hikes in Corsica has this book in some language!
I did 6 of the hikes and agreed with the assessments. Times were accurate, as was difficulty.
You must take into consideration that the hiking times are just that. No lounging on the summit or cooling your feet in a lovely stream.
The photos are good representations of the hikes also.
My wife and I are 53 years old and pretty strong hikers and we actually beat a few of the times!
