Bonifatu Forest
Forêt de Bonifatu
Mountain pine forest and granite cirques behind Calvi, with clear streams for hiking and paddling, and the GR20 passes through here.
The Bonifatu Forest lies about 20 kilometres southeast of Calvi. It is a glacial valley surrounded by towering granite peaks, covered in Corsican black pine and holm oak. The Figarella river runs clear, and in summer you can swim in its natural pools. At the end of the road there is a car park, a hostel and several marked trails, including one leading to the Ciottulu di i Mori refuge (connecting with GR20) and loops of one to three hours. In July and August, when the fire risk is high, some trails may be closed. The roads are winding, so drive with care.
