パストリッチョラの天然記念物・トップ20

Be careful, the route isn't great. At point 4, between points 4 and 5, there's no longer a path and it's extremely steep, so avoid with children. It's extremely slippery! The return journey after the waterfall is all on the road. Take a path to the left that allows you to safely follow the road.

very pretty here, very pretty

The highest waterfall in Corsica simply invites you to linger.

We did the climb from the Restonica valley in early July. Heavy rainfall in May caused exceptionally large snowfields below the couloir. Orientation and finding a way was therefore more difficult than under normal circumstances. In particular, the descent on what is actually the same path required a good sense of direction, very confusing, also due to randomly placed cairns that ended in dead ends below the couloir (sometimes on the mighty, too steep granite slabs, which abruptly bordered snowfields and forced to turn back... with then new attempts). In total we have 15km, 3200m difference in altitude (ascent, descent), 6.5 hours in motion and 11.5 hours total time (2 x 45min breaks, remaining time for photos, path search) needed. Tip: be sure to inquire about the snow situation beforehand. possibly Bring a toddle, a snow plate for sticks and a rope. Luckily the snow was very soft, so we didn't need all that. Sticks are mandatory!

spectacular crossing of the highest point of the GR 20. Steep and rocky!

La Bocca alla Porte is one of the most impressive passages of the GR 20. At around 2,200 meters above sea level, this passage is reached by means of a steep climb from the Manganu refuge. La Bocca delivers exceptional panoramas on the lakes of Capitello and Melo, as well as the valleys which it separates.
