Monte Stello, Mountain summit in Haute-Corse, France.
Monte Stello rises to 1,306 meters above sea level, forming the second highest point in the mountainous backbone of Cap Corse in northern Corsica.
The mountain was formed during the Alpine orogeny through tectonic processes that brought different geological formations together, creating its current ophiolite composition.
Located at the intersection of Olcani, Olmeta-di-Capocorso, and Brando communes, Monte Stello serves as a geographical reference point for local communities.
Hiking trails from the hamlet of Pozzo lead to the summit through maquis shrubland, requiring approximately six and a half hours for a complete ascent.
The mountain stands as the 37th highest point among 1,899 peaks in Corsica, with a prominence of 347 meters from the surrounding landscape.
