Bavella Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Bavella massif is one of the most beautiful hiking and climbing areas in Corsica. The island's character is particularly evident in the consistently rough cliffs and striking summit shapes. Top!

Alpine variant via the Bavella massif

Highlight • Other

In good weather, the alpine variant of the GR 20, which leads directly through the Bavella massif, is recommended. It has more vertical meters, but is shorter in kilometers than the original route. The variant is marked with a yellow double bar and requires a head for heights and surefootedness

Crête de Pargulu

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here we are directly below the rock towers of the Bavella massif. The view to the southwest into the valley of the d'Asinau is magnificent and invites you to take a break before climbing the last few meters steeply to the Bavella Pass.
