A 1h30 loop in the heart of the Aitone forest.
A little history:
In Genoese times, prisoners from the Coti penitentiary (1h from Ajaccio on the south shore) were sent to the Aitone forest to open up the forest road to the Niolu.
The cut pines were transported to the port of Castagnu (between Porto and Piana) to Genoa.
These very tall trees with their resistant wood were used to build boat masts.
To get there, take the D84 towards Col de Vergio.
At the start of the path is an old roadhouse, the "maison du Cattagnone".
