Asco Valley, Mountain valley in northern Corsica, France.
The Asco Valley stretches for 9 kilometers through granite cliffs, leading from Ponte-Leccia to the Monte Cinto massif at 2700 meters elevation.
The Saint Francis of Caccia monastery, built in 1510, endured multiple destructions and reconstructions until its final abandonment following raids in 1782.
The valley contains several Genoese bridges from the 15th century, including the historic Asco Bridge, which connected different regions of Corsica.
Access to the valley requires following the T30 road from Ponte-Leccia roundabout toward Calvi, then continuing on the marked route to Asco.
Natural swimming pools near the Genoese bridge provide diving spots with depths of 3 to 4 meters in the mountain water.
