Punta della Vacca

After the long stage in the flat it continues here edgedier. Almost like the "Three Peaks", the Punta della Vacca massif rises up - almost.

The most beautiful view of the Bavella needles. In the north-south direction, it is the last big breath of air of the entire GR20. Enjoy the heights, the clouds, the rocky points, they are definitely worth the time.

September 6, 2024,Aiguilles de Bavella en de Bocca Pargulu - lus in het Regionaal Natuurpark Corsica via de GR20

Nice tough walk. A large part is climbing and scrambling over rocks and stones. It is best to walk it counterclockwise as we did, then you get the most difficult part first.

Follow the green route to the bottom of the mountain ridge, there you switch to the yellow one. Sometimes you have to look carefully to see if you …

September 16, 2024,BOCCA-PARGULU 1662M und zurück auf dem GR20 zum Col de Bavella / Korsika 🇫🇷

The last tour in the Bavella Mountains for now was really tough 😅... really only suitable for experienced hikers in the high mountains... as always, I met the slightly crazy heroes up there, with sandals or sneakers, thin jackets and Gucci bags... amazing 🙄🫣
for us it was a beautiful tour, the pictures we took can only partially reflect that... …

Magnificent climb between the needles, superb panorama at sunrise.
The return by the GR 20 is uninteresting on the other hand

Absolute highlight! Make sure you take enough to drink with you, there are no huts along the way. The mini pools were our salvation.

We planned the hike so that we reached the 30% incline up Mount Paragulu after about 7 km. Even on the descent toward the parking lot, this direction made sense – a short climb with the chain was easier going up than going down. Plus, you don't have the sun directly at your back, and there aren't as many people …

June 6, 2024,Col de Bavella Runde mit Punta di a Vacca - Korsika

Beautiful tour, first on the Alpine part of the GR20 up to the Bocca Pargulu, then back on the 'normal' GR20. Long tour with lots of sun. Make sure to take in the summit (Punta di a Vacca).

June 27, 2026,Tag 9: Aiguilles de Bavella (Korsika)

The Bavella Massif with its distinctive rock spires is an absolute dream.

The tour initially starts quite steeply uphill to a mountain cross 😎
Afterwards, the path winds past the noteworthy Rocher de la Gojira.
After some ups and downs, you have to complete a small via ferrata before the final ascent to the highest point.
Before that, taking in …
