Uomo di Cagna

Discover the Uomo di Cagna, a singular peak in southern Corsica that rises at 1217 meters above sea level. Its name, meaning “man of Cagne”, derives from its characteristic silhouette, formed by the stacking of two imposing granite blocks, reminiscent of the shape of a human being. From the summit plateau, you can admire a splendid panorama of the south of Corsica.

The trail is excellent, well marked and signposted all the way to the base of the summit. At the heart of a granite chaos, the highest point of the climb, stands the Uomo di Cagna, a balanced mass of rocks. To continue, you'll have to navigate through this mineral labyrinth of large granite boulders, with some climbing required to reach a small platform at the base of this iconic rock. Those sensitive to vertigo may choose to stop at the end of the route.
