Bergerie de Ballone (U Vallone)

Family-run shepherds' hut (bergerie) about 25 minutes below the Tighjettu hut, beside the Viru. There is no dormitory: you sleep in your own tent or a rented one, with a hot shower and home-cooked meals made with produce from the farm. There is no summer kitchen or shop, so you need your own stove if you are not taking the meals. Access is possible by a track from Calasima.
