Albertacce walks

This third stage takes us to the Col de Vergio, the highest point of the day, which marks the start of the descent to Porto. We will pass by the beautiful Radule waterfall and its pools, which are perfect for swimming.

Loop starting from the Genoese bridge at Albertacce, first following the Viru, a tributary of the Golo, to the Moulin de Muricciolu, then a pretty balcony path above the Golo to the footbridge over the Golo.

A unique hike in the Niolu region, featuring a little-known summit offering a sublime view of the Paglia Orba. Afterwards, you’ll have just one desire: to climb to the summit of this Corsican gem.

This circular will take you to the highest point in Corsica. It is a difficult hike, but it offers unrivalled views of the surrounding area.

A short climb to the Bergeries de Ballone, nestled in a superb mountain setting. A short hike, taking half a day.

The second stage of the “Circular Tour of Two Vallées” takes you into one of Corsica’s wildest and best-preserved valleys: the Tavignanu Valley. From the A Sega mountain hut, situated on the banks of the Tavignanu, the path follows the river and descends gradually through a dense forest where Laricifolius pines and holm oaks grow side by side. Along the way, you’ll enjoy numerous viewpoints over the steep-sided gorges and pools of crystal-clear water that dot the river. Halfway along the route, you can stop for a break at the Rossulinu Footbridge before continuing on the less steep but equally spectacular section of the trail, which will gently lead you towards Corte.

Second day of the hike between Corte and Porto. The trail begins by climbing up to Bocca Arinella, where we discover our destination: after Lake Calacuccia, the village of Albertacce.

Please note: a hiker reported in August 2026 that access to the lake is prohibited due to forest fires. Check before setting off. A climb to a high-altitude lake, set in beautiful mountain scenery. A varied route that starts in a pine forest, continues through rocky terrain and ends amidst pastures. This hike offers an alternative to the much busierGR®®20route, which starts from the Col de Vergio.

Fifth stage ofthe GR®20, pushing on to the Col de Vergio, we are doing two 6-hour stages rather than one 4-hour and one 8-hour stage, and we will be using the accommodation at the Col de Vergio.

The sixth stage of ourGR®20. We pass by the beautiful Lake Nino. It is a long hike in terms of distance, but the elevation gain is easier than on previous days.

After our break at the Col de Vergio, we head back towards the sea. During this stage, we will cross the beautiful Aîtone forest with its swimming pools and paved paths in some places.

A very beautiful hike that allows you to walk along the ridges and discover Lake Nino in a beautiful valley surrounded by stone mountains.

View of the Gulf of Porto from the ridge, Paglia Orba mountain (the most beautiful in Corsica), Capu Tafunatu and its hole below the summit. A beautiful hike on theGR®20.

A quick detour via theGR®20allows you to discover the superb sheepfolds at Radule.

A legendary place in Corsica: Lake Nino and its pozzines. You have a magnificent view of the Cintu massif, the Gulf of Cargèse, and if you are lucky, you will encounter beautiful wild horses.

A magnificent, physically demanding circular route passing by the Radule sheepfold (with its nearby waterfalls), heading towards the Cittulu Mountain Hut but branching off towards the Bocca di Guagnarola. A long descent to the Puscaghja Mountain Hut. Return via the Bocca Saltu and the Mare à Mare Nord, climbing back up to the Vergio Pass. It is possible to complete the route over two days, staying at the Puscaghja mountain hut.
