Gîte d'étape du Monte d'Oro

Description
At the Cascades des Anglais, a path leaves the GR20 and climbs to the Col de Vizzavona (La Foce, 1,163 m), on the main road. It bypasses the hamlet and the station, then rejoins the GR20 South towards E Capannelle.
The col has several places to stay (hotel, gîte, bivouac area), handy if the hamlet of Vizzavona is full or to shorten the next stage.
Tips
- There is no station at the col: to catch the train, stay on the main route to Vizzavona.
- Check what supplies are available at the col before stopping there.
