The former starting point for this walk, at the Grotelle sheepfolds, is no longer accessible by car following the extensive damage caused by Storms Ciaran and Domingos. The starting point is now at the Frasseta bridge. The route adds approximately 2 hours’ walk (one way) to the original route to reach Grotelle. We recommend taking the shuttle bus from Corte to reach the trailhead in the Restonica Valley. (Regarding the shuttle bus: Check with the Tourist Office for details) (D) Shuttle bus stop: Frasseta The start of the trail, marked in red, winds its way uphill through the pine trees. (1) At the signpost, head towards Les Grotelle (2) Arrival at the Lamaghjosu bridge (3) Arrival at the Les Grotelle sheepfolds (4) Climb the ladders (5) Arrival at Lake Melu (6) Continue along the path towards Lake Capitellu (7) Viewpoint over Lake Melu (A) Lake Capitellu This new route takes around 8 hours to walk (there and back). We therefore recommend setting off early in the morning. Shuttle buses leave from Corte railway station from 6.00 am (from early May to late September) to take you to the start of the walk.
