The Aiguilles de Bavella are rocky spikes of red granite that dominate the hill of the same name. The name means needles of Bavella. At 1218 m, the hill connects the Alta Rocca to the east coast of Corsica.
This massif is smaller yet much more popular than the "aiguilles de Popolasca". The site is characterized by jagged peaks, large rock walls and pine trees twisted by the wind.
Located in the centre of the "Massif de Bavella", are the seven "tours d'Asinau," or towers of Asinau, the actual "needles". These are traditionally numbered from south to north:
