The villages of the Nebbiu form a balcony, and this hike will show you why: at the bend of an oak tree, between the leaves of the olive and chestnut trees, a splendid view of the Gulf of Saint-Florent opens up. The dry stone walls dress this path, and the maquis reveals its charms: Church, springs, and Pagliaghji are revealed as you walk. From Rapale to Pieve and finally, Sorio, take a trip back in time at the rhythm of nature, with stops in the villages, rich in heritage treasures. The return from Sorio to Pieve and Rapale is less steep.
