Castel de Vergio, Mountain hut and campground in Albertacce, France
Castel de Vergio is a mountain hut and campground sitting at 1,403 meters elevation in Albertacce, Corsica. The facility offers dormitories with around 70 beds, camping areas, hot water facilities, and an on-site grocery store for visitors.
The lodge was established as a key stopping point along the GR20 and Mare e Mare North hiking routes, two major long-distance paths crossing Corsica. This location made it essential for hikers crossing long mountain stretches in the interior.
The on-site restaurant prepares meals using local mountain ingredients, showing visitors how traditional Corsican cooking works in remote places. The food reflects what people in the region have eaten for generations, based on what grows and thrives at high elevation.
Hikers can access many trails directly from the grounds, with paths leading to Lac de Nino, Bergeries de Radule, and through the Valdu Niellu forest. The location works well as a base for day trips in multiple directions.
The facility sits near Paglia Orba, the fourth highest peak on the island, which locals call the Corsican Matterhorn for its pointed shape. This mountain is visible from the grounds and stands out clearly against the sky.
