The Refuge Haut-Asco is located at an altitude of 1,422 meters in a ski area. The large building has an indoor camping kitchen and an outdoor kitchen with gas cookers. There are large beds and very good hot showers. The shop is well stocked and there was even fruit. In addition to the refuge, there is a restaurant and a kiosk that sells ice cream, for example. The places for camping are partly behind the refuge in the forest and partly on the area in front of it. Since a road ends here, there are always many day tourists who have the summit of Monte Cinto, the highest mountain in Corsica, in their sights.

Who is on the GR20 on the way to escape civilization, is "killed" here at first. A large hotel with a large car park, a large restaurant and to top it all off a ski lift ...
Anyone who manages to ignore this and is looking for a little off a cozy tent camp, will also be able to win a lot from this place. I am very happy to be here now.
Anyone looking for luxury on the GR20 can, of course, get their money's worth here.
