Capo Bianco

Capo Bianco rises to an elevation of 2,562 meters above sea level as part of the Monte Cinto massif in Corsica, forming a natural boundary between Asco and Corscia communes.

The mountain has served as a geographical marker separating the northern Asco valley from the southern Niolo region throughout the development of local settlements and communities.

The mountain carries two names, Capo Bianco in Italian and Capu Biancu in Corsican, reflecting the linguistic heritage of this Mediterranean island.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails from either Asco through Pinara Valley or from Corscia, with both routes requiring navigation over rock formations.

The Ruisseau de Ghieriosa, a tributary of the Ruisseau de Stranciacone, originates on the western slopes of this prominent mountain peak.
