Departure from Ghisoni (Haute-Corse)
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.

From the Capanelle Refuge, on theGR®20, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Traggette sheepfolds. This is followed by the climb to Bastani Lake, which peaks at an altitude of 2,089 metres opposite Monte Renoso (2,352 metres). Bastani Lake, located in Haute-Corse, is one of the highest lakes in Corsica. This magnificent glacial lake, frozen for seven months of the year, owes its beautiful emerald green colour to the presence of filamentous algae.

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.
