Aiguilles de Bavella, Granite mountain range in Corse-du-Sud, France.
The Bavella massif features seven distinct granite peaks reaching 1855 meters, displaying jagged formations that rise above Mediterranean pine forests.
The Bavella mountain range has served as a natural barrier between coastal settlements and inland Corsican communities since ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices in the Bavella valleys, following seasonal patterns that have endured for generations.
The GR20 hiking trail crosses through the mountain range, with refuge shelters providing overnight accommodations at regular intervals along the path.
The granite peaks contain numerous natural rock arches formed through erosion, creating windows that frame views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
