BALADE ROUTIÈRE AUTOUR DE SARTÈNE

Following the Rizzanese river, take the D69 to the old Spin'a Cavallu bridge. Following the Départementale 65 eastwards, a road takes you to the Foce belvedere and its beautiful viewpoint over the plain. 8 kilometers south of Sartène from Gianuccio, a footpath leads you through the maquis. You then cross a stream, a ridge and the locality of Bocca di Favalettu to arrive at this huge, smooth rock emerging from a mass of granite boulders... Panoramic view of Valinco, Figari Bay to the south and Alta-Rocca. Towards Serraggia, you'll reach the Rocher du Lion (Lion Rock) on the Cap de Roccapina, where you can perhaps (probably!) take a swim. Then take the path to the right of Le Lion, facing the sea, and after a short 3-kilometre walk, you'll arrive at some divine, secluded coves! The Ortolo beach unfurls its miles of desert before you, then you can admire the Murtoli estate with its sheepfolds and luxury homes, as well as the forgotten Senetosa lighthouse. You can also climb up to the Lion Tower at Roccapina, which offers an absolutely magnificent panorama in the midst of unspoilt nature. Finally, in the Propriano area, of course, is the town of Sartène, with its prehistoric site, the menhirs of Filitosa and the oil mills of the upper Ortolo valley, not to be missed.
