The aiguilles de Bavella (''I Forchi di Bavedda'' in Corsican) dominate the hill of the same name at 1218 m, connecting the Alta Rocca to the east coast of Corsica. The massif is smaller yet much more popular than the "aiguilles de Popolasca". The site is characterized by jagged peaks, large rock walls and pine twisted by the wind. At the heart of the "Massif de Bavella", we can find the seven "tours d'Asinau" (the actual "aiguilles de Bavella", formerly numbered from south to north): * Punta di l'Acellu (''Punta ll'Aceddu'', 1 588 m) (Tour I); * Punta di l'Ariettu (''Punta ll'Arghjetu'', 1 591 m) (Tour II); * Punta di a Vacca (''Punta lla Vacca'', 1 611 m) (Tour III), the only accessible single hiker; * Punta di u Pargulu (''Punta llu Pàrgulu'', 1 785 m) (Tour IV), separated from the previous by the ''Bocca di u Pargulu'' (1662 m), taken by the Alpine variant of the GR 20; * Punta Longa (1836 m) (Round V); * Punta Alta (1855 m) (Tower VI), the highest; * Punta Iolla (1848 m) (Round VII), separated from the previous by the ''Bocca di u Santu'' (1745 m). The whole "Bavella massif" standing at 1899 m with both "Punta di u Furnellu" (''Punta llu Furneddu'') and "Punta Muvrareccia" (''A Mufrareccia''). Highest peak of the area is the "Monte Incudine" (2134 m) and extends from the forest of Tova in the north (Solaro town) to "Monte Calva" (1381 m) in the south, the limit of the "Massif de l'Ospedale", and almost up to Conca and the sea to the east. From the "Incudine" to the Bavella pass, the GR 20, after reaching the refuge of Asinau (1536 m), passes at the foot of the "aiguilles de Bavella" in the Rizzanese Valley (Asinau), but a so-called "alpine" variant enables approaching the towers of Bavella, via "Bocca di u Pargulu" (''Bocca llu Pàrgulu'', 1662 m). After the Bavella pass, the path begins its descent towards Conca, via "Foce Finosa" (1206 m) and the refuge of "i Paliri" (1055 m) at the foot of "Punta Tafunata di i Paliri" (mountain with a hole in it as its name suggests, like the "Capu Tafunatu", 1312 m). At the pass, a few meters from the road, stands on top of a pile of stones the statue of "Notre-Dame-des-Neiges" (our lady of snow). The Purcaraccia is a famous creek with waterfalls and natural pools. The trail starts about 8 km from there on the D268 towards Sari-Solenzara.
