The GR20 hiking route which crosses Corsica from top to bottom goes across the Cuscionu plateau from which two access routes lead to Zicavo, allowing hikers to come and get fresh supplies.

It takes about two hours to get onto the GR20 from the “Bocca de l’Agnone” near Cozzano and a little more (2h30) from the other track towards l’incudine.

But other walks are possible from Zicavo and can be organised to take only a day.

For example going to the “Mount Incudine” or “Alcudina” (2134 meters high, its name comes from a group of rocks that form the shape of an anvil).

It’s also possible to get to the Chapel of St. Pierre, taking a track off the road to the Col de la Vaccia (which is another walk recommended for its breathtaking scenery).

This same route will take you to the Cuscionu plateau and its sheep pens (Basseta, Matalza…) where you can go cross country (racket) skiing over the winter.
