Fontaine de Ficaghjola walks

This hike is a variation (in terms of the route and starting point) of the Mare à Mare Nord. We set off from Corte, a very pretty town, and arrived at the Gulf of Porto. We stopped at the Refuge de Sega, the Gite d'Albertacce, the Col de Vergio (where we stayed for two days to explore Lake Nino) and Evisa before arriving in Porto.

First stage of the hike from Corte to the sea, at Marine de Porto. This first day is a steady climb up to the Refuge de A Sega.

U chjassu di ZurmuluThis walk, which is shaded for the first part, takes you to Punta di Zurmulu from Corte.This small peak offers a panoramic view of the town, overlooking the citadel and the two valleys. On a clear day, you can even see the sea in the distance!The second section takes you to the Chjarasgiolu footbridge in the Restonica Valley.From this point, if you wish, you can then take the San Teofalu route (+ 2½ hours’ walk) to complete a circular route to the Chapel of Saint Anthony in Corte.

U Chjassu di San Teofalu A lovely walk starting from the Saint Antoine chapel in Corte, offering beautiful views of the town and the surrounding area.

U chjassu di u fiume (The River Path) A trail in the lower Restonica Valley. This trail is ideal for a family walk. In summer, where the trail runs close to the river, you can combine the pleasure of the walk with a refreshing dip.

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.

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.

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.

Our seventh stage ofthe GR®20. This route consists of two stages, the first to the Petra Piana refuge, and the second via the ridge variant.

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.
