We woke up slightly earlier than usual, and started hiking at around 06:00.

We will be honest, stage 4 is probably the toughest stage on the GR20… long story short, STAGE 4 = SCRAMBLED (L)EGS.

Even though the climb to Pointe des Eboulis was relentless, steep and stony, this is one of the most scenic stages of the GR20, and one of our favorites.

We enjoyed a lunch break at the highest point of the trail, overlooking Monte Cinto, and we cheered other hikers reaching the top of the climb.

It was a unique and highly emotional moment.

Due to the weather forecast, announcing thunder storms later in the afternoon, we decided to skip the variant to climb Monte Cinto and headed down to the Bergerie de Ballone, where we enjoyed a nice and social dinner provided by the bergerie.
