Ski touring on the Eastern Coast: from the plain to the peaks of the hinterland

The Eastern Coast first brings to mind its long sandy beaches, its ponds and the agricultural plain of Costa Verde and Costa Serena. Nothing that suggests snow. Yet you only need to look up to the west: behind the vineyards and orchards, the mountains of Castagniccia and Fiumorbu rise abruptly, and further still the central range lines up its ridges above 2000 metres.

For the ski tourer, the Eastern Coast is therefore not terrain in itself, but a gateway. Two massifs in particular are accessible from the plain: Monte San Petrone (1767 m), the roof of Castagniccia, and the eastern slope of Monte Renoso, via the Ghisoni road. Two very different atmospheres, within driving distance of the coast.

From the plain: a gentle base for days in the mountains

The eastern plain has a real advantage in winter: its mild climate. You stay there in peace, far from snowy roads, and only head up to the mountains on days when the conditions are right. It's a flexible way to experience Corsican ski touring, especially for those combining several activities during their stay.

The distances remain reasonable, but the roads leaving the plain are narrow and winding. In winter, they can be icy early in the morning in their upper sections: an equipped vehicle and a relaxed start are essential.
