The 10 Best Waterfalls in Corsica, France
Corsica is a laid-back French island, with a breezy vibe that’s part European weekend and part tropical honeymoon. The port city of Bastia flings its arms wide open to weary travelers disembarking from a long ferry trip. For a truly charming Corsican experience, catch a train through the mountains to the beach, passing by rustic villages and grazing cows along the way. Take a few hours or even a few weeks to explore the island’s famous walking trails, including the varsity-level GR 20.

Definitely go if you get the chance, it is very beautiful. It’s a hike a bit longer than 1 hr to get to the pools, easy in the beginning, becoming more challenging towards the end as lots of climbing on the rocks is required. Climb as far as you can, don’t stop at the first you see, it is very rewarding. Hiking shoes are a must during the hike, hiking poles can also help if you usually use them. Recommend water shoes for the pools. The rocks in the water can be slippery. Obviously no source of food nor drinking water, bring your own. There is only one downside to this, even in September, very busy, hoards of people going to the same place. This causes 3 issues: parking - the parking is small, thus people park on the road, you’ll see cars park for a couple of kms when busy. Second issue is hiking there and back- the trail is narrow at all times, only space for one. When busy, it just becomes a long queue of people hiking, as if you had a class of 30 students. 3rd problem- all these people will rest, just as you, at the few pools which makes it very crowded. It is probably fantastic if you manage to be there alone, but no matter what, it’s beautiful. I saw plenty of young children hiking the trail without issues. I wouldn’t recommend it for dogs though, it won’t be pleasant for them.

Near the highest point on the T20 road near Vizzavona you can see a parking area just off the road, where the trail towards the waterfalls begin. It is signed pretty poorly but that is the normal situation in Corsica. The trail goes up in a sharp angle from the parking lot. It reaches an old building, probably of a farm, now in ruins, and right after it you turn left and down the slope towards the cascades. It requires good grip shoes or sandals (I did it in source sandals) as the trail becomes rough with bolders towards its end. It is worth while as the cascades are wonderful, calm and the atmosphere is fresh. You then have an option - either you follow the red-white signs of the GR20 all the way to Vizzavona station (Gare de Vizzavona) or you return in the same way to the parking lot.

Very, very pretty! After you find a parking spot you have to climb a few meters up, which is a tricky route. Better not go on flip-flops as we did! But very much worth it!
