Stage 8

Manganu to Refuge l'Onda
5.5 hours · 18 km · 1536 m gain
Ridge walking and descent toward the refuge at l'Onda on a stage of about 5.5 hours. Granite gives way gradually to more vegetation as you move south through the island's spine.
Refuge l'Onda is a classic GR20 stop in forest-edge country. The halfway psychological point for many trekkers heading south from Calenzana.
