Drive to Chisa by taking the D45 and then the D645 from the T10 at the airbase. Once in the village, park in the shade in the few spaces on the left after the town hall.
(S/E) Take the steps on the left to climb the village’s narrow streets and several flights of steps. As you exit, look out for yellow markings, a few abandoned shelters and a path that climbs alongside a wall.
(1) When you reach the cistern, take the path that climbs slightly to the left and then quickly branches off to the right: this is the steepest climb of the hike. Once at the top, you’ll come to a path.
(2) Turn left. Follow the path through the numerous rocks, keeping to level ground, sheltered by undergrowth of heather, laurel, chestnut and holm oak.
(3) Cross a more difficult but not particularly dangerous section by stepping over large boulders. The path then descends slightly; cross the Ruisseau de Sena and then the Ruisseau de Rancinelle.
(4) Just after this, leave the path on the left that descends – you will take this on the way back. Continue for about a hundred metres, pass a hunter’s hide, then follow the path that climbs up to the right. Continue until you reach the Grotte de U Saparghionu.
(5) From inside, there is a beautiful view of the valley. The return journey follows the same track to the junction near the Rancichelle stream.
(4) Take the path on the right. On the descent, you will notice an abandoned hunting post.
(6) Walk alongside a fence and continue to a crossroads.
(7) Continue the descent by turning right, then take a sharp left-hand bend to rejoin a wide, carriage-road. Follow this road to reach the RD745 south of the village.
(8) Turn left and follow this road back up to the village (S/E).
