The forest of Vizzavona is a forest of 1634 ha, located in the center of Corsica. It occupies the southwestern part of the municipality of Vivario and is the property of the Corsican territorial collectivity. To the north-east, it is right next to the territorial forest of Rospa-Sorba, "sitting astride" on Vivario, Noceta, Rospigliani, Vezzani and Pietroso. The forest of Vizzavona is a haven of freshness sought by the people of the main town, Ajaccio, fifty kilometers away.
