Trekking Mountains&Sea Corsica

<p>We will do the Tra Mare e Monti Nord Hike on the north-west of the island Corsica&nbsp;in 11 days</p>

Details

We will hike the trail "Mare e Monto Nord" from Calenzana to Cargese in the north- east of the island, a very nice 11 days trail, which is passing the Parc Naturel de Corse, the mountains and the coast. It is not a very difficult trail.
You can see pictures of that trail on the website: http://corsica.forhikers.com/photos/mare-e-monti-nord

If the weather will get warm we will have many possibilities for swimming in the meditterenean sea as well as in mountain rivers.

We will hike this trail in 11 days, each day a 4 - 6 hours hike. In the middle of the trail we will stay one day at the seaside without hiking  just for relaxing.

Each day we will arrive in a gite d´etape, that is a hiking-inn, where we will stay overnight in rooms with 4 - 8 beds (in the middle of the trail and at its end we will also stay in a hotel in double rooms), these hiking-inns are all with half-pension, so we will have diner and and breakfast there. Sometimes these hiking-inns are in small villiages, where we can buy food&drinks for the hikes, but sometimes they are alone in the forest without any possibility to buy something.

We are hiking from hiking-inn to hiking-inn and we have to carry our backpack for the whole tour always with us. So it is necessary that you pack your backpack as easy as possible.
I have reservated 7 beds in all hiking-inns along our trail (but although i recommend to bring a summer biwak sleeping-bag in case of emmergency)

We will be 7 guys in the age between 35 and 60 (most germans, one american)

The costs for 12 days accomodation&breakfast and 9 diners will be 649 € per person ( in 3 nights we stay in hotels, there is only accomodation and breakfast, but not diner included in the price)

Directions

We meet on sunday 18th september evening in the villiage Calenzana on Corsica, our starting point for the trail.
If you take a flight directly to Corsica, try to fly to Calvi, that is very close to Calenzana.
Or fly to Bastia,  but only if you arrive there on the 17th or on the 18th in the morning, than you can meet us there and join us going by train to Calvi.
If You take a flight or train to France continent on the 17 th, go to Marseille or Nice and then by train or car to Toulon, there i and some of the other guys will meet saturday 17th september in the evening and we will take the night ferry to Bastia/Corsica and arrive there 18th in the morning.

So if you have further questions feel free to drop me a line
