Der Westen Korsikas ist rau und felsig. Die Berge Korsikas reichen hier bis ans Meer heran. In den Fjorden und Buchten der Westküste gibt es nur wenige Sandstrände, dafür aber paradiesische Tauchmöglichkeiten für Unterwassersportler. Einige Küstenstreifen zwischen Galéria und dem Golfe de Sagone sind sogar nur von der See her zugänglich, wie etwa um das Reserve Naturelle de Scandola. Das ehemalige Piratendorf Girolata ist nur per Boot oder über Maultierpfade zu erreichen.
Der einsame, kaum bewohnte Landstrich der Filosorma ist ideal zum Wandern durch karge Macchia und Strauchheiden. Die kurvenreiche Panoramastrecke von Galéria bis Piana entlang der Westküste ist ein Kleinod für Motorrad- und Cabriofans: vorbei dem Ferienort Porto führt die Kurvenstrecke in die gewaltigen Calanches de Piana, eines der berühmten Naturphänomene Korsikas. Die bizarren gelblich bis roten Felsgärten sind durch die Witterungseinflüsse der rauen Westküste so stark zerklüftet, dass sich Felstürme, Schluchten, Plateaus und bizarre Formationen gebildet haben, die so manches mal an Fabelwesen und Sagengestalten erinnern.
Auch das Hinterland der korsischen Westküste hat seinen Reiz: die grünen Berge erreichen eine Höhe von bis zu 2500 Metern, in der wildromantischen Schlucht Gorges de Spelunca blüht der Oleander in zartem rot und in den Wäldern von Aitone strecken gewaltige korsische Schwarzkiefern ihre Wipfel in den stahlblauen Himmel. Überquert man den höchsten Punkt der Passtrasse Richtung Corte, den Col de Vergio, hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Bergmassive von Zentralkorsika.
