Departure from Pianello (Haute-Corse)
A circular route on the southern slope of the Caldane massif, the southern boundary of the Castagniccia. Breathtaking views of the Corsican mountains, from Monte Cardo to the Aiguilles de Bavella in the distance and the beaches of the Costa Verde. The Pointe de l’Orsaja is the lowest peak in the massif; climbing it opens up views of the Alesani valley and, in the distance, its dam and the beaches of Alistro.
You’ll come across plenty of birds along this route, as well as cows and sheep....

We stopped at the Refuge de Sega, the Gite d'Albertacce, the Col de Vergio (where we stayed for two days to explore Lake Nino) and Evisa before arriving in Porto.
