Refuge de la Sega, Mountain campground in Corte, France.
The Refuge de la Sega is a mountain lodging near Corte that accommodates about 34 people in shared sleeping quarters with mattresses. The facility includes a communal kitchen with gas cooking equipment, hot showers, running water, toilets, and both indoor and outdoor dining areas.
The refuge sits at a junction of traditional Corsican hiking trails, particularly the Mare a Mare Nord route that historically linked mountain villages across the island. This role as a meeting point continues to define its purpose.
The refuge is run by the Citti family, who share their knowledge of mountain life in Corsica with guests during the summer season. Personal connections form through conversations and meals shared in the common dining spaces.
The site is reached on foot via hiking trails from different directions, with walking times ranging from two to three and a half hours. Visitors should bring suitable hiking boots and be prepared for variable mountain weather.
The refuge draws hikers following the Mare a Mare Nord trail, but it is less known as a quiet retreat away from Corsica's busier destinations. The simple setup gives visitors a genuine sense of mountain hostel life.
