Mare a Mare Centre - Stage 6 (b)

At the end of the climb you reach an open field with large rocks, the Bocca di Focce. Here you'll have spectacular views in almost all directions, including the village of stage 5.

There is an additional path that goes off to the mountain top close by, the Punta d'Urghiavari, some 150 meters higher. The main route however is towards the south west, through a area that is open and allows for great views.

You'll walk for a couple of hours along the edge of a long stretched mountain, enjoying great views in all directions. Then, suddenly, you'll get your first glimpse of the sea. It's the Golf of Ajaccio, to be precise. Notice the city and the airport next to it.

Still at around 900 meters height, and with 1,5 days walking left, it does look very close. The path continues, sometimes through forests, sometimes open. You'll be climbing the Punta Maggiola (1,082 meters) and then start to walk down towards Col St. George.
