パストリッチョラの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ9

The Manganu refuge is located at the foot of the Capitellu gap. The refuge is well equipped, very comfortable, and offers toilets and showers. Campers can also pitch their tent around the refuge. You can also treat yourself with the refuge's small artisanal grocery store which offers charcuterie, cheese and small Corsican pastries. Reservations must be made on the refuge's website.

The Petra Piana is a very small refuge, perched on the mountainside, which dates back to 1971. If you plan to sleep there, you must book your night online, on the PNRC (Corsican Regional Natural Park) website. The refuge is located near a spring where you can fill up with water, if you are just passing through.

The tour is no longer possible after severe flooding and landslides in November 2023. You can no longer get any further by car after the Tuani campsite. Instead, shuttle buses drive to a point (A Frasetta) just before the collapsed bridge; further on, you can only get there on foot, as large parts of the road have been washed away. There is a well-marked hiking trail to the Bergerie du Melo, which takes about 2 hours. The Bergerie du Melo is open, from here you can continue to the mountain lakes, but you have to allow 3.5-4 hours more walking time.

Super starting point and destination for a hike to Lac de Melo and Lac de Capitello. Friendly staff, fair prices.

Located at 1,586 meters above sea level, near a road, the refuge owes its name to an old sheepfold. At the foot of Monte Renosu, the cottage is relatively well equipped and has a bar-restaurant.

Nestled on the side of a cliff, the refuge of Petra Piana is historic. Built in 1971, it is the first refuge of the GR 20. Located at the foot of Bocca Muzzela, it offers 28 beds in addition to a few pitches for tents.

Embedded at the foot of the Capitellu breach, the Manganu refuge offers good hot meals with comfortable equipment. Take the opportunity to regain your strength before starting the steep climb that leads to the breach.
