Bastelica walks

If you don’t like out-and-back routes, here is a circular route that can be done starting from Bastelica. It will allow you to see the Ortola waterfall. You will also pass through the pig farms on this walk.

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.

At an altitude of 1,630 m and close to Ajaccio, this easily accessible peak offers stunning views over the Gravona Valley. Rather than the quick, direct route to the summit from the Col de Scalella, opt for the longer, gentler circular route, with its stunning scenery.

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 hike leading to the A Tanedda glacier (or more precisely, the snowfield). This site was used fromthe 17th to the early19th century for the ice trade. After extraction, the ice was transported to Ajaccio. A beautiful ascent, alternating between shaded and sunny areas, which will give you a sense of the harshness of life in days gone by.

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.

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.
