1. Paglia Orba
Region : Northwest
Difficulty : Very hard
An epic and very demanding hike will take you to the summit of Paglia Orba. From the top, you will be rewarded with an extraordinary panorama that stretches from the Cinto Massif to the Fango Valley and as far as the Gulf of Porto.
2. Capu d'Orto
Region : Northwest
Difficulty : Moderate
This hike starts at the foot of the Calanques de Piana and takes you to the remarkable viewpoint of Capu d'Orto. The views are very open, with the impressive peaks of “e Tre Signore” in the foreground, while in the background you can see the Gulf of Porto on one side and the Cinto Massif on the other.
3. Monte Rotondo
Region : Central
Difficulty : Very hard
A summit that must be earned, both in terms of the length and the elevation gain of the route, as well as the long final climb up a very steep scree slope. But the reward at the summit is all the more beautiful, with a panorama that, on a clear day, covers almost the entire island of Corsica.
4. Monte Senino
Region : Northwest
Difficulty : Hard
A relatively short but demanding route leads to Monte Senino, ideally located between the gulfs of Porto and Girolata. The view from the summit is absolutely magnificent.
5. Monte Cinto
Region : Central
Difficulty : Hard
This list would not be complete without mentioning Monte Cinto, the highest point in Corsica. This hike is long and difficult, but it offers fantastic views along the way and an exceptional panorama once you reach the summit.
