Once an important transport route, the path connects the Fium’Orbu valley to the Taravo valley via the Bocca di Laparo, the inhabitants of which have always shared strong ties. Crossing two streams and walking through Corsica’s most beautiful beech forest, you’ll reach a small ridge with the sheepfolds of Scanciatella.

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.
