The Monte Cinto (2,706 m)
The highest summit of Corsica and also the most experienced! Warning it is high mountain, so be very careful because bad weather can occur very rapidly and the peaks are often covered with a thick fog! If, on the southern slope the snow disappears very quickly, it is not the same for the north side where it is not uncommon to find some more snowfields until midsummer.
- Duration: 4-6 hours up and 2-3 hours down to an elevation of 1300-1710 meters in the north and 1500 meters from the south.
- Level of difficulty: easy enough for the south face.
- Materials: map (IGN 1 / 25 000th, 41.50 E and 42.50 W), compass and altimeter are recommended even crampons and ice axes according to the snow.
- Itinerary: From Calacuccia go towards the village of Lozzi (1040 m), then on foot, the shepherd's Cesta, the ercu to Lake Cinto. From there, head towards the door of Scree, then right on Monte Cinto at 2706 meters.
