Very difficult
Departure from Venaco (Haute-Corse)
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.
