It is still a long way from here, but you can not get that close to the summit of Monte Cinto on the tour. So if you still have time …

Monte Cinto

Highlight • Summit

We can't go any higher in Corsica! With its 2,706 meters, Monte Cinto is certainly one of the highlights of the island. The harshness and hostility of these mountains gives the impression of being in another world.

August 11, 2024,The highest in Corsica: Very hard hike/climb to Monte Cinto - 2 706 m from Asco-Side

You can park at the hotel and GR20 refuge "Hotel Le Chalet" in Haute-Asco. Hike starts from there in nice forest but after some minutes already changes into very rough rock that requires a lot of surefootedness and concentration. Very steep!!!
In the morning the way up is mostly shady except the last hour to the pass. There the GR20 …

August 1, 2023,Monte Cinto- Startpunkt Refuge d'Ascu Stagnu

My hardest tour so far. With the sunrise in the Asco Valley we started on Monte Cinto. This is where the 4th and probably demanding stage of the GR20 starts. The forest soon thins out and it becomes increasingly rocky. It goes almost exclusively over scree fields and climbing passages (grade 1) upwards. We take a break for breakfast on …

The walking time is not correct!!! It took me 7:50 up and down! Not recommended in fog or clouds, you get lost very quickly. There was already snow/ice in front of the Bocca, which is very challenging in places. Have fun trying it out.

October 2, 2022,🇫🇷 Korsika_Monte Cinto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Certainly not the most technically difficult 2000m peak in Corsica, but the highest and therefore an absolute must for every mountaineer who is here on the island. Since we didn't make it to the summit in June, it was an absolute must on the second attempt. The ascent should not be underestimated......... the gradients are consistently demanding and the terrain, …
