Beautiful there and back walk through mountain scenery to a bridge. Well formed path and almost impossible to get lost. The trail, however, is very rocky and climbs steadily for most of the outward leg so whilst it is not difficult you do need to have a reasonable degree of fitness to complete this hike comfortably. It also has very little shade so gets pretty hot - lots of water is a must. We used the Rother walking guide for Corsica for details of this walk. Interestingly this states the walk is just over 12km when in fact is is 11 miles! We are a fairly fir couple in our mid 50s and the return journey took us 4 hours. There is paid parking available at the trail head.…

Only by foot to visit. Ages old path with many different aspects of Corsican mountain animals and flowers and geology. Many locals use this as running place. We were (being flat landers ) with our age, exhausting en overweight sensitive to overheating. 2 liters per person for a walk which took us 5 instead of 3 hour is minimum when temperatures is 28 Celsius…

We were blessed with great conditions but rather warm although only 31 May. Lots doing it as a well known hike. The scenery gets better as you climb into the mountains . The trail follows above the valley all the way. The last mile is stunning..in the first mile in the morning we came upon an elderly chap being carried down the path only a mile from Corte after suffering a heart attack, poor chap, which was not the start we wanted !.…

Took a walk in here - fantastic scenery, new vista's unfolding around every corner, stunning. Family of four (kids 11 and 8), walked up to the bridge, obligatory swim then a wander back - all in the July heat :-) Then went for a swim near the end to cool off again - great day out, walked from our hotel in Corte - wish I had places like this on my doorstep!…

The books say that the walk from Corte to the bridge takes about 3 to 4 hours there and back, but including stopping for a swim and a picnic we took a good 7 hours!. (Round trip was 9 miles). From the car park on Rue St Joseph the path is well marked with Orange markers. The walk is a gradual climb but goes up and down....nothing too steep but definitely worth sensible walking shoes or sandals. The scenery along the way is stunning and on a hot day not much shade so take a hat and plenty of sun cream (more shade in the pm as the sun moves over). There are one or two tributaries to cool off by on your way but swimming in the pools at the bridge is the real treat. I understand the refuge further on is an even greater treat but in the heat we couldn’t make it that far in a day.…
