LE MONTE ROTONDO

This hike takes you to Corsica's second-highest massif, Monte Rotondo, at an altitude of 2622 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the whole of Corsica, its imposing peaks, majestic lakes, Cap Corse and the Mediterranean. The route starts from the D623 and passes through the Restonica Forest. After the Bergeries de Timozzu, the landscape turns mineral as you head towards Lac de l'Oriente. Between steep peaks and rocky ridges, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful, but be prepared for a steep climb for much of the way.
