Capo Sant'Angelo

Capo Sant'Angelo is a mountain summit in Haute-Corse that rises to approximately 1100 meters elevation. Multiple hiking routes converge here, varying in difficulty and connecting the surrounding valleys with the peak.

The mountain shows evidence of past settlement across different periods of Corsican history. Remnants of older structures in the area indicate long-term use of this mountain region by inhabitants.

The mountain paths here serve as living connections between scattered villages, reflecting how locals have organized their movement through the terrain. Visitors can sense this ongoing relationship between the communities and the landscape they traverse.

The climb typically takes three to four hours depending on which route you choose. Start early and bring proper footwear and plenty of water for the journey.

On clear days, the summit offers views of both the Mediterranean Sea and Corsica's interior mountain ranges from one spot. This dual perspective is valuable for visitors wanting to see the island's different landscapes.
