Partly narrow cut rappel canyon

Summary: machine translated ➜

Partly narrow cut rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Nonza on the west coast of Cap Corse on the D80 about 5 km north, then turn right on the D233, past Ogliastro, until the hairpin bend before Ferragine (not quite 5 km from the turnoff).

Approach (1 h 10): machine translated ➜

From the hairpin bend on the track south to Ponte Novu, continue on the track until the path on the left is indicated first to Bocca di Violu, then later to Monte Stellu. About 25 minutes after the latter junction, at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level, an inconspicuous path branches off again to the left (double marking on the right and left on the path to Monte Stellu), which climbs up the slope for another 20 minutes before finally descending into the forest canyon in front of Monte Stellu.

Tour (2 h): machine translated ➜

In the unfortunately relatively short narrow section attractive;the 50 m sloping rope could be downclimbed in the upper part.

Return (40 min): machine translated ➜

After the high rappel in the streambed continue to Ponte Novu, to which is exited to the right
