U Castellu, Mountain summit in Corsica, France
U Castellu is a mountain summit in Corsica that rises above the surrounding landscape and provides views across ridges and toward the Mediterranean. From the top on clear days, you can see extensive mountain ranges and distant coastal areas.
This summit has long served as a landmark for shepherds and travelers crossing the Corsican highlands since ancient times. Its prominent position made it a recognized reference point on traditional routes through the mountains.
Shepherds use the slopes around this summit to graze sheep and goats, keeping pastoral traditions alive on the mountain. This daily activity shapes how the landscape looks and feels.
The climb follows marked hiking trails that take several hours and require good physical stamina. Sturdy footwear and plenty of water are essential, especially in warm weather conditions.
Rare plant species grow on the upper slopes that exist nowhere else on the island. These specialized mountain plants have adapted to thrive in the harsh conditions at altitude.
