Amazing Trip! I'll be there in the middle of this year! Do you have more information about Paglia Orba? Thanks!
Thank you! Corsica is a very special place. Unfortunately we do not have more information about Paglia Orba as our GR20 route did not go very near that massif. Enjoy Corsica!
Thankssss my friend! I will follow your tracklog, even though it is very difficult. I have a question about Monte Cinto: I saw that the descent to Tighjettu is an unusual track. Can you tell me if the descent to Tighjettu is well demarcated? Is there a chance of getting lost? Is there a lot of bush / plants?
My pleasure! The track between Haut Asco and Tighjettu is very difficult and is slow going. The route between these two Refuges via Monte Cinto Bocca/Col is an alternative route to the Cirque de la Solitude which is closed. This alternative route is well marked with double yellow trail flashes/blazes, is exposed, little flora, and loose scree underfoot most of the way. You should not get lost provided to you stick to the trail blazes/flashes.
