Listen "GR20 Day 7 — Moving in the Mountains"
Episode Synopsis
May 30, 2022 — Stage 7 — Manganu to Pietra Piana — 7mi / 2,800'
Beautiful day, also very tough. Steep uphill right away leaving Manganu, then up through a dramatic portal notch, to a lunch spot up high above the lakes in the upper Rezzonica watershed. We ate spaghetti from a thermos and then traversed along a sharp ridge before dropping down to next refuge, which offered a fine dinner of lentil stew accompanied by Corsican music and a diverse, social crowd. Still only 20-25 people at the refuge. Like the last one, this refuge feels quite remote, and has a real mountain vibe.
The refuge was not crowded. We slept in rented tents.
