Lake Melo

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful but also well-visited lake. Located about 200 meters below Lac de Capitello. It can be reached from the GR20 by descending to the Brèche de Capitello or by climbing through the Restonica valley.

Steep, rocky ascent to Lac de Capitello

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

only one kilometer long, but has a few very steep segments through rocks … but the view at the end is worth the effort 😜

Lake Capitello

Highlight • Lake

Great idyll, challenging hike from the Restonica Valley. If you still have some strength, follow the yellow square and climb up to the GR 20. You will be greeted with a sensational foresight westward and you can admire the Lac di Capitello from above in its full Bracht.

Brèche de Capitello

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Here you can (quite steeply) descend to the Lac de Capitello. From there theoretically to the Lac de Melo and from there through the Restonica Valley to Corte (long way)
