산토-피에트로-디-베나코‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

very pretty here, very pretty

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!

Like most lakes in the Corsican mountains, this one has its own collection of bright green cushioned pozzines. It is a shallow lake of only 1.8 meters, but it is compensated by its height of 2622 meters above the sea. A short hike further on the path is worth seeing the lake which shrinks away.

It can be reached from Petra Piana on the way to Monte Rotondo in about 1-1.5 hours on foot. However, the ascent has it all. Extremely steep and only partially marked by cairns. In the upper area there is a short section where hand use is required. You can't call it climbing, but you shouldn't have a problem with slightly exposed terrain. Before reaching the lake, a huge boulder field has to be overcome. Here at the latest it becomes completely pathless. But the lake is worth all the effort...... an absolute dream and completely far away from any tourism.

Very worthwhile destination, scenic anyway, but also something for bird lovers. When we were there, you could watch the jackdaws' flying skills in the strong gusts of wind.

Fantastic lake. The mountain crows tore the snack from our hands. This is an adventure !!!

Mid to late May, Lac de Melo was beautiful, Lac de Capitello the climb was challenging over snowfields, Lac de Goria then very dangerous over very steep snowfields and non-existent paths.

You have to reach the parking lot before nine o'clock, otherwise it gets very crowded and you have to park further down in the valley. There is a lot going on here in high season. Parking fees €6 for cars and €3 for motorcycles. The hike can only be completed with good shoes and enough fluids because the path is blocked and full of rubble. It doesn't matter which path you choose. The view and the crystal clear lake make the hike worthwhile. I give the hike an S3 to S4 level of difficulty. Only possible with children who enjoy running. You are no longer allowed to swim in the lake. I didn't see any prohibition signs at the upper lake.
