Bastelica walks

A short hike starting from Bastelica, following the Volta Canal and leading to the Ortola Waterfall. You will pass through a magnificent forest of old chestnut trees.

From the Val d'Ese station, set off to discover an unexpected landscape in Corsica: the Pozzines. This hike also offers magnificent views of Monte Renoso and Lake Vitalaca. You are sure to come across herds of sheep and cattle grazing in this area.

Discover the Pozzi du Renosu, one of Corsica's most remarkable geological gems, on a circular route redesigned for your comfort. This hike will take you to a vast high-altitude plateau where intense green lawns are dotted with a myriad of sparkling water holes, a direct legacy of the last ice age. We offer an alternative departure point that avoids the steep climb up the ski slope in favour of a more gradual and pleasant path.

Walk under the oak trees connecting the village of Bocognano to Piscia di Tavera Vechja, also known as the "Voile de la Mariée" waterfall.

At an altitude of 850 metres, there is a view of Bocognano and the Gravone valley.

A circular hike from Guitera les Bains, ideal in sunny weather as the route is through shady woodland. From the easily accessible rocky peak of Bozzi, there is a superb panoramic view of the middle Taravo valley, stretching from Petreto-Bicchisano in the west to the mountains in the east. Opposite is the Cuscione plateau and Mount Incudine. Please note, however, that the descent back to the village is via passages that are sometimes damaged by erosion.

Shady climb to the ridge between Punta San Pietru and Alcadina. Superb view of Aragnascu, Lake Todda, the snow-capped peaks (in winter) and the entire Gulf of Ajaccio. Steeper than the north side, the climb is steep from the start in Ocana.

A beautiful, short walk to discover old mills.

The ascent of Monte Renoso, the highest point in southern Corsica, offers a splendid view of Lake Bastani and the peaks of the northern part of the island (Monte d'Oro, Rotondo, Cardo, Paglia Orba and Monte Cinto). On the way back, a short detour via a tricky descent will take you to the edge of Lake Bastani for a refreshing break.

Overlooking Lake Bastani and one of the five highest peaks in Corsica at 2,352 metres, Monte Renosu stands out for its breathtaking panoramic view.

Our 10th stage on theGR®20. A varied stage that takes us through forests and open terrain.

From the Capanelle Refuge, on theGR®20, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Traggette sheepfolds. This is followed by the climb to Bastani Lake, which peaks at an altitude of 2,089 metres opposite Monte Renoso (2,352 metres). Bastani Lake, located in Haute-Corse, is one of the highest lakes in Corsica. This magnificent glacial lake, frozen for seven months of the year, owes its beautiful emerald green colour to the presence of filamentous algae.

Beautiful hike, beautiful landscapes, beautiful beech and Laricio pine forests, superb lake. Lake Nielluccio is located between Monte Renoso and the Ventosa ridge (1,954 m) in the municipality of Ghisoni in the department of Haute-Corse. Lake Nielluccio is a glacial lake in Haute-Corse and is one of five lakes around Monte Renoso (2,352 m) and the Fiumorbo watershed.

This is a magnificent hike that has never been done before, as there is a section that is not listed. The trail starts halfway to the Ghisoni ski resort via a shortcut that leads onto the famous GR®20. This route offers a wide variety of landscapes and vegetation, including fir and beech forests, scrubland, rocky areas, lakes, rivers, animals, sheepfolds and the famous pozzi, which are magnificent in this location. These are pools of water in the green grass that form natural basins, connected by small river veins in the grass. The outward journey is via the Lacs de Rina, and the return via the GR®20. There are a few tough, steep sections, but all in all, it's not a very difficult hike, and well worth the effort.

The Pozzines (from the Corsican word i Pozzi, meaning wells) are acidic peat bogs crossed by winding streams. They are located at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,300 metres. They occupy depressions formed by ancient glacial lakes, which were filled in by clay deposits and numerous dead plants. In Corsica, the deposits of the oldest pozzines are thought to date back around 12,000 years.

This is a great hike, best done in the morning. Superb views of the Prunelli and Gravone valleys. No difficulties, very well marked route in yellow.

Climb up to Rocher de la Madonuccia, which offers a surprising view of Monte d'Oro.

A beautiful hike that follows theGR®20trail, with breathtaking scenery.

Starting near the Col de Vizzavona, this short circular hike will take you to the Cascade des Anglais waterfall and down along the Agnone with its beautiful pools inviting you to take a dip. The return journey is via an easy path through the forest.

Our eleventh stage on theGR®®20, this stage largely follows the ridges and peaks. Sometimes in the forest, sometimes in the open.

Through the Corsican vegetation of tree heath, arbutus and pine trees, the discreet path leading to Punta Sant'Eliseu is sometimes peaceful, sometimes challenging. The arrival at the summit offers a superb panoramic view of the bays of Sagone, Liscia and Ajaccio to the west and Monte Renoso and Monte D'Oro to the east. Closer by, below, the villages highlight the gentleness of the Gravone valley.

Our twelfth day of walking on the legendaryGR®20in Corsica, another day with ridges, but also a nice stretch on a plateau and therefore a big change of scenery.

On the ninth stage of ourGR® 20 hike, the landscape becomes gentler, greener and more wooded.

Easy family hike along a well-marked, shaded trail. Accessible to anyone who is able to walk. Trout river, pure water, pools, waterfalls.

Pleasant and relatively easy hike. Well-marked trail, steady and moderate slopes, no danger. The walk is almost entirely in the shade of a pine and beech forest. Perfect for a first outing in the mountains or a slightly adventurous family walk.

This easy hike will allow you to discover a small part of the Coscionu plateau, which rises to an average altitude of 1,500 metres. This beautiful loop will take you along paths, tracks and trails through a varied and unspoilt landscape. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to encounter some animals, such as pigs, horses and donkeys

Our eighth day on theGR®20. A steep climb before an equally steep descent, but with a beautiful view... You will admire the Cascade des Anglais as you approach Vizzavona.

Arriving on a small plateau, the path continues until it crosses a small stream. Then, a narrow, winding path where you may encounter some wild pigs takes you up under chestnut trees to the Col de la Croix. From there, follow the track to the right and discover the splendid panorama of the eastern plain, the sea, and the Monti Renoso and Kyrie Eleison (Christe Eleison). The track then descends to the village of Ghisoni.
