Aiguilles De Bavella
The Aiguilles de Bavella ( co, I Forchi di Bavedda; Needles of Bavella) are rocky spikes of red granite that dominate the hill of the same name on the island of Corsica in France. At 1218 m, the hill connects the to the east coast of Corsica. This massif is smaller yet much more popular than the "aiguilles de Popolasca". The site is characterized by jagged peaks, large rock walls and pine trees twisted by the wind. Located in the centre of the "Massif de Bavella", are the seven "tours d'Asinau," or towers of Asinau, the actual "needles". These are traditionally numbered from south to north: # Punta di l'Acellu (''Punta ll'Aceddu'', 1588 m) # Punta di l'Ariettu (''Punta ll'Arghjetu'', 1591 m) # Punta di a Vacca (''Punta lla Vacca'', 1611 m), the only tower accessible to a simple hiker # Punta di u Pargulu (''Punta llu Pàrgulu'', 1785 m), separated from the previous towers by the ''Bocca di u Pargulu'' (1662 m), taken by the Alpine variant of the GR 20 # Punta Longa (1836 m) # ...

Massif
In geology, a massif ( or ) is a section of a planet's crust that is demarcated by faults or flexures. In the movement of the crust, a massif tends to retain its internal structure while being displaced as a whole. The term also refers to a group of mountains formed by such a structure. In mountaineering and climbing literature, a massif is frequently used to denote the main mass of an individual mountain. The massif is a smaller structural unit of the crust than a tectonic plate, and is considered the fourth-largest driving force in geomorphology. The word is taken from French (in which the word also means "massive"), where it is used to refer a large mountain mass or compact group of connected mountains forming an independent portion of a range. One of the most notable European examples of a massif is the Massif Central of the Auvergne region of France. The Face on Mars is an example of an extraterrestrial massif. Massifs may also form underwater, as with the Atlanti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GR 20
The GR 20 (or ''fra li monti'') is a GR footpath that crosses the Mediterranean island of Corsica running approximately north–south, described by the outdoor writer Paddy Dillon as "one of the top trails in the world". The whole trail is about 180 km long with 12,000 m of elevation gain, clearly waymarked throughout, the walk for most of the 10,000–20,000 hikers per year takes around 15 days. The trail is considered to be the most difficult of all the GR routes and consists of two parts: the northern part, between Calenzana and Vizzavona and the southern part, between Vizzavona and Conca. Vizzavona is considered the middle as there is a train station, and therefore is an accessible point for walkers beginning or ending a walk consisting of half the route. From Vizzavona, the train can be taken to Bastia or Ajaccio as well as many smaller towns and villages such as Corte. The northern part is considered by some the more difficult part, because of the steep and rocky ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
