(S/E) The start is after the Melaja Bridge on the road leading to the Tartagine Forest. The track starts on the right-hand side of the road with a sign indicating Alghiju. There are numerous shortcuts that will save you time and distance.
(1) Take the cairned shortcut to reach another small track that climbs gently in parallel and rejoins the main track.
(2) Just after rejoining the main track, continue along the small track that goes straight ahead at the bend.
(3) Take the path opposite that climbs and rejoins the main track.
(4) At the bend, follow the track that goes straight ahead.
(5) Take the shortcut path that goes straight ahead at the bend and rejoins the track a little higher up.
(6) Take the shortcut path just after the bend on the right. It rejoins the track a little higher up.
(7) In the meadow, the path disappears; use the cairns to find your way and continue climbing.
(8) Ford the river; there is not much water, so there is no need to take off your shoes. Use the cairns on both sides to find your way and tackle the steep climb to Bocca de Pozzi. Be careful, the path is not very visible but is fairly well marked with cairns.
(9) Turn onto the path that branches off to the left and continue climbing towards the pass on a path that is not very visible but well marked with cairns.
(10) At the pass, follow the cairns that branch off to the right and cross the ridges. Be careful: some passages are tricky with rocks to climb and stony in places. Cairns, markings and white arrows indicate the passages.
(11) Join the path coming from Calenzana. Turn right, still following the cairns and white markings, to head towards the summit of Monte Grosso.
(12) Monte Grosso forms a sort of small plateau at its summit with an exceptional view over the whole of Balagne.
The descent is via the same route. Note that the trail and cairns are easier to see when descending this section.
(8) Continue on to return to the starting point (S/E).
