The restonica, tumultuous river with given its name to the valley.

      Located in the middle of Corsica and the regional park, the valley of Restonica is a site classified since 1966 for the richness of its natural inheritance. In addition to the beauty of the landscapes, it shelters with its neighbor of Tavigniano, the major part of the lakes of mountain. At the end of the throats of the restonica, a jewel in a circus of mountains is. The Mello Lake belongs to the chain of lakes of altitude which surrounds Assembles it Rotondo. Like its neighbor, the Lake Capitello perched with 1930 meters of altitude, it is one of the most visited lakes because its access does not present the difilculté major one. Other wonders are to be discovered in the solid masses of Cinto, of Goes up of Oro, or of Renoso. One finds there also the strongest concentration the endemic ones of Europe.

      To the foot of the rocky outcrop, capped by the citadel of Corte, Restonica comes to marry the Tavigniano river, which will be thrown in the Tyrrhenian Sea, in Aléria. It reveals us all his dimension since the last turns which go down on Corte. A succession of pillars precipice and edges blurred by the fog, tumble down in a deep notch. Trônant above the immense Chinese shadow theatre, Assembles it Ritondu is one of the most beautiful summits of Corsica and was regarded a long time as highest.

      The network of paths, created and maintained formerly by the shepherds and their herds in transhumance, is now especially borrowed by the hikers.
