GR20 Stage 3: From Carrozzu to Asco-Stagnu

Third stage of the GR20 in north-south direction, connecting the refuges of Carrozzu (1270 m) and Asco-Stagnu (1420 m). Although this is the shortest stage of the route (4.8 km), it is by no means the easiest. The path is mainly rocky, with a very steep climb equipped with cables and a suspension bridge. This can be a challenging day for those prone to vertigo.

The descent from the Bocca di Stagnu pass (1979 m) to the Haut-Asco ski resort is also technical and requires constant attention. The ascent through the Muvrella gorges and the panoramic view from the pass are exceptional. Monte Cinto (2706 m), Corsica's highest peak, can be seen and is the next day's destination for some hikers.
