From Frasseta to the Melu and Capitellu lakes via Grotelle
U chjassu di i lavi
The beautiful lakes of Melu and Capitellu are still accessible. It is now a challenging hike. Take on the challenge and your efforts will be rewarded!
The former starting point for this hike, from the Grotelle sheepfolds, is no longer accessible by vehicle due to the significant damage caused by storms Ciaran and Domingos. The starting point is now at the Frasseta bridge.
Restonica Gorges to Tuani
An accessible and refreshing hike in the heart of the Restonica Gorges. The trail, almost entirely shaded, immerses you in a magnificent setting: cliffs, forests and spectacular panoramas follow one another along the way. And to top off the experience, natural pools ideal for a refreshing swim await you.
From Corte to the Chjarasgiolu footbridge via Punta di u Corbu
U Chjassu di San Teofalu
A lovely walk starting from the Saint Antoine chapel in Corte, offering beautiful views of the town and the surrounding area.
From the Chjarasgiolu footbridge to the Riviseccu footbridge
U chjassu di u fiume (The River Path)
A trail in the lower Restonica Valley. This trail is ideal for a family walk. In summer, where the trail runs close to the river, you can combine the pleasure of the walk with a refreshing dip.
From Frasseta to the sheepfolds at E Grotelle
The E Grotelle Path
The only access route to the upper Restonica valley, this walk takes you to the famous sheepfolds of E Grotelle.
Following the storms last November, extensive damage has made the upper Restonica valley inaccessible by car from the Tagone Bridge (which was swept away by the flood).
Access to the E Grotelle sheepfolds is now via this walking route from La Frasseta (this is the same starting point as for the route leading to the Cappellaccia sheepfolds).
This trail can be taken either for a moderate-difficulty hike leading to the Grotelle sheepfolds, or to reach the start of the hike to the Melu and Capitellu lakes (which is now considered a challenging route). This trail runs along the upper Restonica valley and leads to the Grotelle sheepfolds.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy numerous viewpoints over the steep-sided gorges and pools of crystal-clear water that dot the river.
