The Chemin des Crêtes follows the coastline to the relief of the Sanguinaires Islands, offering exceptional views of the coast. After about 40 minutes of uphill climb with a medium slope, you reach a path called “des Crêtes” which dominates the town and the bay of Ajaccio.
According to your wishes, the circuit can last more or less time (for a maximum of more than 4 hours).

Short Circuit  :
The start is from the Bois des Anglais, at the roundabout located at the intersection of Avenue de Verdun and rue Maurice Choury. On the left, you can reach a car park at the foot of the path. At the fork, take the path going to the left and continue until a T-junction where you'll enter the Crêtes path. Take a left towards Parc Berthault or make a U-turn to return to the car park. From Parc Berthault, you can return to the city center following Boulevard Pascal Rossini along the seaside.

Long circuit  :
At the T-junction, where you'll join the crest trail, turn right, keeping a general west orientation. The path overlooks the Gulf of Ajaccio and heads towards the Sanguinaires islands. After 2 hours of walking, the Sanguinaires islands stand out clearly and you'll tackle a descent of half an hour until the solar station of Vignola and the Sanguinaires road, near the bus stop Terre-Sacrée of the 5 line.
