No, you're not dreaming ! You are indeed in Corsica, although this narrow canyon may remind you of a Far West setting.

This parade of La Scala di Santa Regina (Saint Régine's staircase) is a long gorge that stretches for more than 15 kilometers. It was dug by the Golo river which flows below. You evolve at the foot of high rock faces.

That's wonderful !

Calacuccia

Highlight • Settlement

Calacuccia is a village located 847 meters above sea level. The geography here takes a very poetic turn in its naming, since geologically this island valley is named "Below the Mountains". As for the mountains that surround the village, they take the pretty name of "Crystal Corsica".

A dam on the Golo River forms an artificial lake just below the town.

The peaks of the Cinto massif are visible and invite you to come and hike. The highest of these mountains, which culminates at 2,525 meters above sea level, is called the Paglia Orba.

There are not only many ways to get started on a tour, but also a nice little shop that sells Corsican specialties and fruit in the summer. Out of season he is probably closed.
A large parking lot offers all possibilities for day trips.

Vergio Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Vergio is the highest pass in Corsica. From its height of 1,467 meters, it is the meeting point between two famous trails: The GR20 and the GR Mare à Mare.

At the pass, you will see a strange 25-ton statue made of pink granite stone. It represents Christ the King and is the work of Noël Bonardi.

Ponte Altu

Highlight • Other

Two bridges (the new one and the Genoese bridge right next to it) span the Golo River on the outskirts of Albertacce. Several pools and other beautiful natural areas are located upstream in the Golo and the Viru for swimmers who do not fear cold water.
Don't hesitate to stop on this bridge to admire the view. Whatever the weather, there is always a good shot to take.
