Wild pasture and local products

DAY 1: Once we park the car(2) in the open space at the end of the ski area, we start to walk following the description of the CIRQUE DE LA SOLITUDE VARIANT(3), taking us in about 4h30’ to our first destination, the Refuge de Tighjettu(20), after a beautiful day to the discover of the famous glacial cirque. DAY 2: From the mountain hut, we climb up the valley of the Ruisseau de Crucetta up to Bocca Crucetta(23) and next to the Pointe des Eboulis(25), then we proceed for 3h15’ along the itinerary of STAGE 04 towards the opposite direction to the one of the description. Near the Pointe des Eboulis we leave the GR20 to follow the MONTE CINTO VARIANT(29) and we reach the island’s highest top(33) in 45’. We come back

following the same path until we reach an altitude of 2630m, where the path, descending from the top, turns sharply and proceeds parallel to the ridge going past an even rock slab. The little evident path(32) breaks off here, precisely towards South using a small couloir, marked only with several stone cairns, and then with old, occasional and large white dots. The path descends without a fixed way at the beginning, inside the couloir(34), going along a small rocky ridge. We cross it on solid terraces entering a second and larger couloir(35) on loose terrain. We descend inside this couloir through the rocks, with several stone cairns showing us the right way, until we reach a wooden sign showing “Monte Cinto”. Here we have to keep to the left of the couloir and, through a forced passage(36) along a small ledge (hard to see, stone cairns
