Between sea and mountains, let yourself be seduced by its unspoilt nature, its character and its history. Whether you're a sports enthusiast, a gourmet, a culture buff or a nature lover, the Isle of Beauty invites you to discover its rich cultural heritage, with its religious and defensive monuments, its ancient sites and museums, its exceptional gastronomy and wines, its nature that allows you to enjoy a wide range of activities, its traditions and values, and its authentic villages.

The island can be reached in less than two hours from Switzerland via Geneva, Zurich or Basel, with direct flights to Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi and Figari airports. There are also regular ferry services from France and Italy.

Once there, the train linking Calvi, Bastia and Ajaccio via Central Corsica is a great way to get around.
