A small mountain junction with some infrastructure: bakeries, shops, and even places to stop for refreshments. Those driving towards the Bavella Pass from the west or south will inevitably pass through Zonza.

From the dam, you have a magnificent view of the mountains to the north. The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited here.

The reservoir was created to provide drinking water, so swimming is prohibited, even though the lake looks inviting. However, this ban doesn't stop the cows from cooling off with their feet 😁 The lakeshore is a great place to linger, and you've certainly earned a break after completing the climb from Porto Vecchio.

L'Ospedale is named after a hospital established here long ago, in 1762, to treat malaria patients from the then marshy area around Porto Vecchio. From up here, you have a magnificent view of the bay of Porto Vecchio and southern Corsica.
