I need advice quickly as I am leaving luggage in Rome tomorrow, on my way to Corsica. I'm walking north to south starting 15 June and wonder if I need my 3-plus season sleeping bag, which is good to zero degrees in a tent?? Dumb question on the surface, but I could use a thermal sleeping bag liner and a silk liner instead (plus thermals).

Too cold for that? Any advice? I am just thinking about the various comments I have read about the refuges being quite hot and I have done walks before where I slept on top of my bag and carried it for nothing.

I know it's too late for you, but for anyone else wondering, I used a light summer bag (500 grams, 12C rating!) when walking during the first 2 weeks of October, and except for one cold night in Petra Piana, I was fine (I slept with some clothes on some of the nights). I don't think there is any need to carry a heavy sleeping bag if you intend to sleep in the refuges, especially in the warmer season.
