Corsica Holidays
About our group trips to Corsica
Corsica is one of the Mediterranean's most fascinating islands and belongs to France, but has a strong identity of its own with its own language, its own traditions and a landscape that is different from many other destinations in Europe. Here, high mountains rise directly from the sea, the coastal towns offer historic citadels and small ports, and the inland attracts with chestnut forests, mountain villages and winding roads through magnificent nature.
With our group trips to Corsica, you get to experience the island in a comfortable and informative way together with a tour guide. We offer both classic round trips where we discover Corsica's most talked-about places and active hiking trips for those who want to get close to nature. Whether you are looking for a Corsica trip with culture, coast and excursions or a hiking week with mountains, lakes and sea views, the island is a destination that will stay in your memory for a long time.

Corsica – a French island with its own soul
Corsica is often called the pearl of the Mediterranean, and it's easy to see why. The island combines French elegance with Italian influences and a distinct Corsican identity. Here you will encounter small mountain villages, local specialties, historic citadels and a pace that invites you to really take in the surroundings. For many who are looking for a trip to Corsica, it is precisely the variety that attracts. In the same day you can experience turquoise seas, dramatic cliffs, fragrant maquis vegetation and high mountain peaks. Our group trips are designed to give a broad picture of the island – not just beach and sun, but also culture, history and nature experiences that show why Corsica is one of France's most distinctive travel destinations.
Cities, coastal gems and historical environments
Corsica's towns and coastal resorts offer a fine mix of history, views and everyday life. Ajaccio, the island's largest city and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, has a harbour promenade, squares, cafés and museums. Bastia in the north is known for its old harbour, its citadel and its lively neighbourhoods, while Calvi and Bonifacio attract with beautiful locations and a strong Mediterranean feel. Bonifacio is one of the island's most spectacular places, where the old town is located high on white limestone cliffs above the sea. Along the coast there are also smaller fishing villages, bathing coves and viewpoints where the sea changes in blue and green. On our trips you will experience several of the environments that have made Corsica so popular among travellers who want more than just a regular sun holiday or charter to Corsica.
Nature experiences and hiking in Corsica
Corsica is a paradise for nature lovers. The island is unusually mountainous for being in the Mediterranean and offers deep valleys, granite cliffs, forests, rivers and glacial lakes. This makes the landscape feel wild and varied, with views that often surprise even experienced travelers. For those who want to hike in Corsica, there is much to discover. The famous GR20 trail is considered one of Europe's most challenging hiking trails, but there are also many trails and stages that are suitable for a more accessible hiking trip. On our hiking trip we experience parts of Corsica's dramatic mountain landscape and coastal stretches, with the opportunity to get up close to the island's nature. The hikes are combined with accommodation, transport and tour guidance so that you can focus on the experience.
Traveling to Corsica with a group
Traveling to Corsica on your own can require some planning, especially since the island's roads are winding and many of the most interesting places are scattered between the coast and the mountains. With a group trip, you get a well-thought-out program, comfortable transportation and a tour guide who helps put the places in context. Many people wonder about flights to Corsica from Gothenburg and the easiest way to get to the island. For our trips, the current departure point, flight schedule and program on each trip are shown. The advantage of booking an organized trip is that the logistics are planned, from transportation to excursions, which makes the experience smoother. Regardless of whether you choose a round trip or an active hiking trip, you will see several sides of Corsica – from the beautiful cities of the coast to the dramatic mountains of the interior.
