Description of the walk

There is a car park at the end of the street called Gargietto, but it only has two or three spaces. Otherwise, park in the village of Sari d'Orcino.

(S/E) Take the yellow marked trail.

(1) Take the steepest path on the right, which will take you to the orientation table. Continue to the crossroads.

(2) Turn left towards the Col de Vergio and take a look at the orientation table as you pass.

(3) Once at the pass, continue straight ahead towards Arro: signposts. Climb up to Punta d'Agnone.

(4) Enjoy the view and continue to Bocca di a Vita.

(5) Leave the marked path. Look for the cairn on the left that marks the start of the trail to Punta di a Vita. The trail is relatively steep until you reach the space between the two peaks.

(6) Climb the path on the right to Punta di a Vita, which is marked on the maps.

(7) Retrace your steps.

6) Take the path on the right towards the other Punta, up to the cross marking its summit.

(8) Take the path back in the opposite direction to Col de Vergio.

(3) Descend to the right to avoid passing the orientation table again and enjoy a less steep slope.

(1) Retrace your steps in the opposite direction to the car park (S/E).

Mostly in the shade and a good path. Not too much of a climb. Brilliant

A really lovely walk to Punta di a Vita! The route climbs quite steeply, but this is interspersed with plenty of flatter sections and a few descents, which give you a chance to catch your breath regularly. There are also a few shaded areas under the trees. The walk is superb all the way along, with magnificent views of the Gulf of Sagone and the mountains.

It took me a leisurely 5 hours, including a morning coffee break and lunch 😜
Honestly, a really lovely walk that I’d highly recommend!
