Bivouac de Petra Piana
About
Found on Corsica, Bivouac de Petra Piana sits in the mountains above Venaco, at 20231 Venaco, France, and is a campsite for walkers crossing the island's interior. The GR20 long-distance trail passes through this high ground, making the site a natural stop for hikers between stages.
Reaching it from the coast takes some effort, but the main towns of Corsica — Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, Corte, Saint-Florent and Propriano — are all linked by road, so a hire car or a bus to Corte puts the trailhead within range. The campsite holds a 4.1 out of 5 from 295 reviews, a solid record for a mountain refuge.
A website at https://pnr-resa.corsica/refuge.php?id_refuge=7 handles bookings for the site. Spring and early autumn bring quieter trails and milder walking weather, and many seasonal businesses on the island close from October to Easter.
Corsican produce includes brocciu cheese, figatellu sausage, chestnut flour and clementines, which turn up in the mountain villages near the campsite. Walkers should carry cash and supplies, as the nearest shops are down in the valley. The site suits anyone walking the interior rather than staying on the coast.
