Pigna – Sant’Antonino

Pigna – Sant’Antonino

This circular hike connects two of the most beautiful villages in Balagne: Pigna and Sant'Antonino. It passes by the Saint-Dominique convent in Corbara. Pigna, a village of artists with blue shutters, and Sant'Antonino, perched at an altitude of 500 meters on its granite peak and ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, offer remarkable panoramic views of the Aregno plain, the surrounding mountains, and the Mediterranean Sea.

This itinerary combines cultural discovery with typical Balagne landscapes, including ancient mule tracks, olive groves, and a rich architectural heritage.
