Pointe Scalajolo

Pointe Scalajolo is a mountain summit in Corsica that rises to 777 meters and features rocky slopes with steep sections. The route passes through Mediterranean vegetation and includes scrambling sections that lead to the exposed peak.

The peak was shaped during the Tertiary period by tectonic forces that built the Corsican mountain ranges. These geological processes formed part of the Mediterranean's larger geological development.

The path to the summit is worn by generations of hikers who know these trails as part of daily life in Corsica. Walkers often gather here to explore the routes and share knowledge about navigating the rocky passages safely.

The ascent requires sturdy hiking boots and basic climbing gear for the steeper sections. Summer months offer the best conditions with stable weather and extended daylight hours for the climb.

From the summit, you can see several neighboring peaks that help orient hikers to the surrounding terrain. This view allows visitors to understand how this peak fits into the broader mountain landscape.
