Gorges de l'Asco
About
Gorges de l'Asco, on Corsica, is a natural attraction in the commune of Asco, at 20276 Asco, France. First-time visitors should expect a mountain landscape shaped by the Asco river, reached from the island's northern towns. The gorges sit inland from the coast, away from the busiest resort strips.
Visitors rate the gorges 4.8 out of 5 across 142 reviews, a strong endorsement for a natural site. The nearby places of Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, Corte, Saint-Florent and Propriano show how the island's main towns fan out around it. Corte, the historic inland capital, lies closest to the Asco valley among these. Reaching the gorges from Bastia or Calvi involves a drive inland through the mountains.
Spring and early autumn are quieter and milder, and many seasonal businesses close from October to Easter. French is the official language, and Corsican is spoken in places. The gorges are a day-trip destination rather than a resort base.
For a visitor, the gorges reward a half-day or full-day outing from the northern coast. Driving is the practical way to reach the valley, and a little French or Corsican helps in the villages. Come in spring or early autumn for milder weather and fewer crowds.
