Presentation of Ultra-Trail di Corsica
Immerse yourself in the majesty of Corsica’s untamed wilderness
The Ultra-Trail di Corsica’s 110km route takes you through some of the island's most spectacular landscapes. The demanding trails that weave through deep valleys, along high ridges and around glacial lakes are guaranteed to challenge!
Starting in Corte, in the heart of the Restonica gorges, the race begins with an intense 1,400m ascent where every step reveals breathtaking views of the Tavignanu valley and the Monte Rotondo range. Along the trail you'll encounter the ancient Padule and Cogna sheepfolds, Lac de Ninu with its alpine pastures, and the stunning Capitellu and Melu lakes nestled in an enchanting alpine setting.
The high-altitude passes, such as Bocca Crucetta at 2,415m, offer spectacular views of Corsica’s rugged mountains, and provide a unique opportunity to get close to the summit of Monte Cintu, the island’s highest peak. Each section of the course unveils a new dimension of Corsica with its centuries-old pine forests, shaded valleys, and alpine plateaux blending raw beauty with serene wilderness — nature in its purest form.
This adventure is more than just a race — it’s a celebration of resilience, technical mastery, and connection with an exceptional landscape. Reserved for seasoned trail runners, this ultimate challenge pushes your limits while allowing you to explore the authentic and untamed soul of Corsica.
