A lovely, fairly shaded walk through the maquis. You need to pay attention to the signposting at the start of the walk, as it isn’t very clear – there are just a few signs with arrows placed on the ground. The 360° view from the summit of Punta di Pintone is magnificent. You can see the Aiguilles de Bavella, the Omo di Cagna and even the coastline between Rocapina and Erbaju. To liven up the walk, there are also information boards about the flora of the maquis and life in days gone by.

Very shaded circuit. At the beginning, the route is well signposted, but at the punta it is difficult to find the path. The information about the natural environment is a great help in finding your way back.
Two magnificent viewpoints.

A lovely walk where you can discover the past (casedu, oven, wash house, etc.), the flora and a beautiful viewpoint. Some of the information boards need replacing. There is a problem with signposting at the summit (ploughed field with no signs).

A circular route with little interest apart from being in the shade. The trail is not maintained: hidden in tall grass, trampled by wild boars, signage missing, no real points of interest. Very disappointed with this walk.

A very pleasant hike starting from a pretty little village, mostly shaded, which is very pleasant in summer.
It is also interesting in terms of heritage, with a small hamlet of ruined sheepfolds (a nice spot for a picnic under the trees) and an ancient spring.

Short hike without any particular difficulty
Most of the walk takes place in the forest, which is very shady and therefore pleasant in hot weather
I can confirm that there are two 1-metre walls to climb over (easy if you take your time) and I didn't see any orientation tables...
The trail is welcome as many of the blue signs are falling into disrepair...

Dear friend Lazzerini, I am the one who did this beautiful hike in 2019, and I am glad that you enjoyed it too!

We did this circular after our first hike.
It is not long but is not that easy.
There are two low walls about 1m/1.2m high along the route (mentioned by one person in 2019), so you have to "climb" over them... not impossible... not that easy... but good to know.
The orientation table mentioned in (3) no longer exists; only the faded and unscrewed signs remain on the stone mound. A shame...
A lovely walk, really nice.

When you arrive at the sheepfolds on the plateau, turn left onto the vehicle tracks, then cross the small copse of trees to reach a viewpoint overlooking the Bavella peaks: a truly beautiful landscape.

For all hikers who love trails through wild forests, this hike is for you. The area is beautiful and authentic, with ups and downs.
Once you reach the top of the ridge, you will come across the Paccialu Di a Sarra sheepfold. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Corsican scrubland.
I read that the hike is classified as "easy" by the website. It's not that easy. I would rate it as moderately difficult. It's a 2 hour 15 minute walk at a leisurely pace without breaks.

A superb family walk. Nothing complicated, just a few small climbs to admire the scenery and return to the starting point. Bring water with you as there are no water sources along the route.

Hike done today with two children aged 7 and 5 who are used to walking in the mountains.
A beautiful circular loop along "wild" and shaded trails. Don't expect easy paths; there is grass, brambles and low walls to climb over. In short, it's Corsican scrubland.
We loved this hike because the trails are very beautiful, the landscape at the summit is magnificent over the south of Sartène with a beautiful view of Tizzano to Rocapina on one side and the Uomo di Cagna and the Bavella peaks and the Ortolu valley on the other. There are a few old stones, sheepfolds, a bread oven, a fountain...
You need to be well equipped with hiking boots, trousers for those who don't want scratches on their tanned legs, water (there are no water sources along the route), and walking sticks are recommended. Not recommended for small children or those who are not used to walking. The start of the hike is confusing as it is poorly marked and the path is not obvious, so we had to "feel our way" a little.
The path on the IGN map at the edge of the village no longer exists, so rely on the GPS route for the start of the route.
