Lac de l'Ospedale
A mountain reservoir at about 950 metres, with pines and granite reflected in its waters: a good place to escape the summer heat, picnic and relax.
Lac de l'Ospedale is a reservoir in the mountains above Porto-Vecchio, at about 950 metres. Surrounded by Corsican black pines and rounded granite, it is much cooler than the coast in summer. The lakeside is good for walking, picnicking and photographing reflections, and you may see free-roaming cattle and pigs. Swimming in the lake is not permitted. It takes about 30 minutes to drive up the D368 from Porto-Vecchio, and it is on the route to Piscia di Gallo and Col de Bavella.
