Ghisoni walks
Col de la Croix (Croce à a Sera)
Arriving on a small plateau, the path continues until it crosses a small stream. Then, a narrow, winding path where you may encounter some wild pigs takes you up under chestnut trees to the Col de la Croix. From there, follow the track to the right and discover the splendid panorama of the eastern plain, the sea, and the Monti Renoso and Kyrie Eleison (Christe Eleison). The track then descends to the village of Ghisoni.
Pozzi via the Lacs de Rina from Ghisoni
This is a magnificent hike that has never been done before, as there is a section that is not listed. The trail starts halfway to the Ghisoni ski resort via a shortcut that leads onto the famous GR®20. This route offers a wide variety of landscapes and vegetation, including fir and beech forests, scrubland, rocky areas, lakes, rivers, animals, sheepfolds and the famous pozzi, which are magnificent in this location. These are pools of water in the green grass that form natural basins, connected by small river veins in the grass. The outward journey is via the Lacs de Rina, and the return via the GR®20. There are a few tough, steep sections, but all in all, it's not a very difficult hike, and well worth the effort.
Monte Renoso and return via Lake Bastani
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.

Les Bergeries des Pozzi
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.

Les Pierres Plates and Les Bergeries de Tolla
A beautiful, easy hike along theGR®20. After the Bergeries de Tolla, the 500-metre-long granite slab at an altitude of around 1,100 metres is a wonderful place for a picnic and a nap. There are trees for shade. You need to walk about 50 metres to the left (uphill) ofthe GR®20to see the slab and the waterfalls.
The "hanging gardens" in the middle of the waterfalls are truly beautiful.

Monte Rotondo via "u pianu di lu capra Mattoto" from Lavu Bellebone
From the Vecchio valley, the climb to Monte Rotondo (2,622 m), Corsica's second highest peak, offers a 1,600 m elevation gain in a spectacular setting. The trail starts under the Laricio pines, then climbs towards Bocca Tribali (1,590 m), revealing ridges and valleys. Beyond, Lavu Bellebone, a small glacial lake nestled in a mineral cirque, invites you to take a contemplative break. The rest of the climb is steeper, on rocky terrain where you may find yourself out of breath. At the summit, the 360° view takes in the gulfs, peaks and wild soul of Corsica, before you return to the valley.
I Pozzi at the start of the Val d'Ese
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.
Pozzines (I Pozzi) and Lake Vitalaca
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.
The Buja Waterfall
At a height of 100 m, the Buja waterfall (Piscia di a Bughja) is one of the highest in Corsica. At its foot is a pool where you can cool off and relax on the rocks. If you look carefully, this waterfall can be seen from afar, especially from the road leading to the village. The long white trail it leaves on the mountain is particularly impressive in winter, when the water flows freely.Bughja (from the word Bughju: darkness).
