From Frasseta to the sheepfolds at E Grotelle
The E Grotelle Path
The only access route to the upper Restonica valley, this walk takes you to the famous sheepfolds of E Grotelle.
Following the storms last November, extensive damage has made the upper Restonica valley inaccessible by car from the Tagone Bridge (which was swept away by the flood).
Access to the E Grotelle sheepfolds is now via this walking route from La Frasseta (this is the same starting point as for the route leading to the Cappellaccia sheepfolds).
This trail can be taken either for a moderate-difficulty hike leading to the Grotelle sheepfolds, or to reach the start of the hike to the Melu and Capitellu lakes (which is now considered a challenging route). This trail runs along the upper Restonica valley and leads to the Grotelle sheepfolds.

Corsica Stage 2: Refuge de A Sega to Albertacce
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.
Refuge A Sega – Corte
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.
From the Chjarasgiolu footbridge to the Riviseccu footbridge
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.
