Monte Rotondo via "u pianu di lu capra Mattoto" from Lavu Bellebone
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.

The descent follows a section ofthe GR®20. You’ll have the chance to admire magnificent scenery ranging from moss-covered woodland to high mountain landscapes.
The Mains d'Or of Monte d'Oro
This hike offers the chance to discover the work of Italian artist Claudio Parmiggiani. In 1999, the sculptor carved his handprints, palms facing upwards. They were then set in granite. Strictly speaking, this artwork is not on the path leading up to the summit of Monte d’Oro. You will need to veer off the path to find it. Behind dense vegetation, you will find a large granite boulder below, in which the Golden Hands are embedded. It is therefore important to follow the GPS track.The hike enters the forest and climbs towards Monte d'Oro. The final kilometre is more challenging, with a climb that is at times steep and stony. You will need to use your hands to help you. You will also need to cross granite slabs that are sometimes very steep. Depending on the season, part of this final kilometre may also be waterlogged. For these reasons, the hike is classified as ‘difficult’.
