1 path, several variants
This path starts from the town centre, from the Bois des Anglais residence (not far from the Place d'Austerlitz) and will lead you to the Vignola solar station located on the road to the Sanguinaires Islands.
You will be able to choose your itinerary. Indeed, this path has the particularity of having several variants...
The Low Peaks
The Crêtes Basses is the part of the Bois des Anglais towards Vignola along the path closest to sea level. It is characterised by its crossing point, commonly called "the benches" by the Ajaccians. It is the place called Fontaine de Cupetta. After about 4 km of walking, you arrive at this crossroads offering you the choice of continuing towards the finish or branching off towards the Crêtes Hautes.
The High Peaks
Passing through the Crêtes Hautes, you will take the Salario track. At this point, the maquis path gives way to a dirt track. It connects the low ridges with the high ridges.
Via this route of the High Ridges, you will discover a sheepfold: A Finosa.
Abandoned since 1925, the sheepfold was restored in 2019.
This property was a gift from Napoleon Bonaparte to a Corsican family (the Assali family) to thank them for having delivered him from the Paolist militia in Bocognano in May 1793.
