Difficult
Departure from Cozzano (Corse-du-Sud)
Stage 13 between the Usciolu PNRC refuge and the Croci sheepfold follows the new route via Matalza (since 2011). A stage with not much elevation gain, but one that should not be underestimated. The start along the ridge is a bit technical up to Punta di a Scaddatta. Then a descent through the forest, crossing fields of ferns before a gruelling climb, part of which is on a track, up to the Croci sheepfold on the Coscione plateau.

The walk to the heights of Chisa and the U Saparghionu cave is a short hike.

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.
