The GR20 is a difficult trek that is known to walkers from all over the world. It crosses Corsica, from north to south, or the opposite, in 15 days of intensive walking. But seeing the sunset over the Aiguilles de Bavella, or the sheep on the mountain ridges, not to mention the unforgettable views of the sea - aren't these natural wonders worth the effort?

The Bavella Needles comprise of 7 peaks: the 7 towers of Asinau. The only one accessible to hikers is the Punta di a Vacca (1,611m). La Punta di u Pargulu (1,785 m) can be reached, but it's part of the GR20 hike. To reach Bavella <a href="/corsica/">during your holiday in Corsica</a>, you'll need to follow a steep, winding road. Once there, drive carefully as the free car park is covered with potholes and bumps. If needs require, there is another, fee-paying car park. All in all it's great fun exploring this spikey landscape. The contrast between the grey rock and pine trees is a beautiful sight. You can choose between two hiking trails - or simply follow your nose!
