Camping corse<\/a> \/ The most beautiful lakes of Corsica<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Corsica is an island with very varied landscapes. Between sea and mountains, its environment seduces by its wild aspect and its authenticity. If you like hiking, you will be amazed and make splendid discoveries during your stay in Corsica<\/a>. Today, we would like to tell you about the most beautiful lakes in Corsica<\/strong>. Of course, we won't be able to list them all, but let us guide you through our small selection.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

The lake of Melo<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Located near Corte<\/a> in Haute-Corse, Lac de Melo is an essential place<\/strong> for the Upper Restonica Valley. Located on the GR20<\/a>, its characteristic shape has given it the nickname \"apple\". It is frozen for at least six months of the year because of its glacial origins. To get there, you still need to be used to hiking and in good physical shape.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Capitello Lake<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

It is known as the leading natural mountain lake<\/strong> in terms of depth, at 42 meters. Located not far from Lake Melo, it is frozen for 8 months of the year and has been a listed site since 1966. If you go to admire it early in the morning, you may be able to spot a golden eagle or a bearded vulture.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lake Gloria<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Still in Haute-Corse, and far from the paths most used by tourists, Lac de Gloria is a solitary body of water<\/strong> located at an altitude of 2000 meters. The hike, starting from the Grotelles sheepfolds, is quite difficult because of the steep paths that have to be taken.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lake Oriente<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

It is a glacial valley located in the upper Restonica valley, with several bodies of water, including Lake Oriente<\/strong>, and the starting points of several hikes. It takes 4 hours to climb to an altitude of 1,000 meters in difficult conditions. After the effort, the reward: treat yourself to a well-deserved break at the Timozzull sheepfolds, where you can taste a cheese typical of the Corsican tradition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Bastiani Lake<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We are still in Haute-Corse where Bastiani Lake is located at the foot of Punta Bacinello<\/strong>. It is one of the highest lakes in altitude (2092 meters). Starting from the Ghisoni ski resort, it will take you an hour and a half to reach it. This hike is accessible to beginners and will allow you to contemplate the surprising colors of nature.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lake Nino<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Nino Lake is located at 1763 meters<\/strong> of altitude<\/strong> in the Niolu Valley. Hikers particularly appreciate this route, as it provides access to an incredible belvedere. Two areas punctuate the walk: the crossing of the Vergio forest, easy to access and very pleasant, and the more complex hike in the rocks, but fortunately shorter. You will then arrive in the middle of fields where wild horses graze before reaching the lake.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Creno Lake<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Located in southern Corsica, Lac de Creno is the only one surrounded by conifers<\/strong>. It is 1310 meters above sea level and is located in the Monte Rotondo massif. Covered with water lilies, the lake offers a relaxing view and will immerse you in a pure and authentic atmosphere.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Vitalaca Lake<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

This lake is also located in southern Corsica, in the Renoso massif. Culminating at 1777 meters above sea level, it can be reached by various hiking trails: from the village<\/a> of Bastelica is the route most frequently taken. \"Vitalaca\" means \"to take away life\" and the lake owes its name to its freezing waters<\/strong>. However, it is one of the most beautiful lakes in Corsica, although little known, as it is quite isolated.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
