LAC DE NINU

The walk starts at the Poppaghia Forest House (1,076 m), the path climbs through a beautiful pine forest, follows the Colga valley upstream, crosses to the other side, and reaches the Colga Sheepfold (1,411 m) after about an hour’s walk, without any difficulty. From there, the climb begins to get steeper and more challenging, due to scree and rocky slabs. This is followed by the ascent of a sort of stone chimney which must be climbed using one’s hands before reaching the Col de Bocca à Stazzona (1,762 m), where the view opens out onto the magnificent Lac de Ninu (alt. 1,743 m), Corsica’s second-largest lake, famous for its beauty as well as its ‘pozzine’.
