L’ARCHE DE CORTE

The Corte Arch Starting point, Tavignanu Valley: 6 hours (return) Do not take the Tavignanu path, but head up above it, passing a house to reach a small stone shelter. Continue northwards and cross a second ridge. You’ll reach a chestnut grove, then a pine forest at an altitude of around 1,000 metres. Climb south-westwards to reach a pass at an elevation of 1,145 m. On the left, you can see a cross atop a rock. The route continues northwards between elevations of 1,100 m and 1,200 m. Pass a rocky outcrop (alt. 1,293 m) and climb to the right over some scree to reach a small pass. From there, turn right and continue north-west, then west. It takes a further 40 minutes, at altitudes between 1,400 and 1,500 metres, to reach the Arche.
