The peak formed millions of years ago through tectonic processes that shaped Corsica and created its mountainous landscape. These geological forces produced the rocky structure that climbers encounter today.
Local mountaineering traditions have developed specific techniques for climbing the varied terrains of Corsican peaks, including Pointe Sant'Elisco's rocky paths.
The climb requires sturdy footwear and plenty of water, especially in the warm, dry Mediterranean climate. Visitors should start early and allow plenty of daylight for the return journey to descend safely.
The summit's position at coordinates 42.057° latitude and 8.8757° longitude offers views spanning both the Mediterranean Sea and the inland mountains of Corsica.
