カサマッコーリの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ11

At the gates of 2,000 meters of altitude, this refuge has 26 beds and a large bivouac area. Reservation is mandatory and you will need to bring the reservation confirmation with you. For all information on dates, go to the website https://www.le-gr20.fr/pages/le-refuge-de-ciottulu-di-i-mori.html

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.

La Bergerie de Ballone offers wonderful family cuisine with artisanal charcuterie and sheep's cheese. It is also possible to order refreshments there. Please note that the refuge offers tent pitches (and tent rental) but you will not find a hard bed under a roof.

very pretty here, very pretty

Be sure to continue hiking up to Paglia Orba and enjoy the beautiful views. Unfortunately, the path is not really marked and you have to climb at a grade 2 level. But the views make up for the effort.

Formerly open during the summer period, this sheepfold is now permanently closed. However, crossing it remains a unique experience!

I initially tried staying at Refuge Tighiettu but they told me there were no more spare tents for hire so walked to Bergerie de Ballone instead and I'm so glad I did! I hired a tent and it came with an actual mini mattress and I slept really well. I had the best dinner on the trail and the staff were super super friendly. Also, HOT SHOWER! Great experience overall.
