Corsica is magic
The 2026 Adventure Racing World Championship shines a spotlight on the so-called Island of Beauty, the highest of the Mediterranean islands, with an average altitude of 568 meters and towering peaks rising above 2,000 meters. A strategic and coveted land, Corsica has constantly fought for its independence and remains untamed, attracting millions of tourists
every year.
Its coastline alternates between paradisiacal sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs. The Calanques of Piana, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, are natural jewels plunging into turquoise waters. Inland, the mountains reign supreme. Corsican culture is experienced through its polyphonic songs, authentic and flavorful gastronomy, festivals, and religious celebrations, where local fervor is fully expressed. In short, a jewel to explore—though one that can never truly be tamed!
