Bivouac / L'Onda Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very nice and spacious area with a slightly outdated sanitary building. We only stopped here for our lunch break and continued hiking to Vizzanova. At the end of September 2021, some renovation work was carried out here.

Tolla Shepherd’s Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the most idyllic places on the entire GR 20 to take a break. Saucisse and Fromage are highly recommended.

Fantastic forest section following the mangadelano stream

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The section does not want to fit the GR20. Flat, easy to walk, cozy ... who has mastered the previous stages, feels here on a completely different trail. A treat …

Day 8

Today we don't get up until 6. We don't have too much of a way to go. The Berliners are actually still here. They actually wanted to start before us but they also seem to have taken their time. We start by going downhill 870m. After an hour of walking we have breakfast as usual. The next stop …
