Calatoja

Calatoja is a mountain summit in Corsica that rises above the surrounding landscape and serves as a prominent landmark in the regional peaks. The summit offers views across the island's interior mountains and down into the valleys below.

The summit has served for centuries as a navigation reference point for local herders crossing the Corsican mountains. Its distinctive shape made it an important landmark for finding safe passages through difficult terrain.

The summit represents a meeting point where local communities gather annually to celebrate traditional mountain festivals and maintain their connection with nature.

The summit is accessible through marked hiking trails that begin from local villages and take several hours to complete. Proper footwear and plenty of water are essential, as conditions vary depending on the season.

The rocks at the summit form natural crevices and overhangs that provide shelter to both hikers and wildlife during sudden weather shifts. These formations developed over millennia through erosion and remain a distinctive feature of the peak.
