Mountain Pass

Bocca Crucetta

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Coming from Asco, begins a long, exhausting descent to Tighjettu. Very steep and mostly against the sun. There is still a spring on the descent, which may be very welcome due to the long tour.

Located at the foot of Monte Cinto, Pointe des Éboulis is the highest point of the GR 20 with its 2,607 meters of altitude. The climb from Asco takes place in a relatively demanding rocky environment. Take the time to savor the superb panoramas that open up on a clear day. You can also undertake the climb to Monte Cinto, the highest point on the island at 2,706 meters above sea level.

Wooden Bridge over Tighiettu Stream

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is on the GR 20 and crosses the Tighiettu stream. From here you have wonderful views of the further path, which continues with some steep climbs secured by chains.

Waterfall and Natural Pool in Parc Naturel Régional de Corse

Highlight • Waterfall

The path is very pleasant up to the wooden bridge. Then it starts to become much alpine. Often both hands are needed for climbing.

Cirque de la Solitude

Highlight • Other

After the tragic accident of 7 dead by a landslide in 2015, the route through the Cirque is again open to the public at your own risk, but will no longer be part of the GR20 route. The previous replacement route via Houte Asco becomes the official leg.
Markers and climbing aids have been removed.

Unfortunately there was a small problem with the GPS track. Point 3 on the map is the end of my tour, I didn't go back.

I had a lot of respect for this stage right from the start. The tour dates already show mighty gradients. I really wanted to climb the highest mountain in Corsica at 2706 m: Monte Cintu (connoisseurs also call it Monte Schindu).
Because I wanted to be at the next …

Very athletic tour, definitely the most strenuous route up to this point, but also the most worthwhile.
Started relatively relaxed, over a beautiful suspension bridge and large slabs, some of which are secured with chains. The route then becomes steeper and more difficult and leads seemingly endlessly over loose scree to a small lake where there was still snow.
Arrived …
