Paglia Orba, Mountain summit in Haute-Corse, France
Rising to 2525 meters, Paglia Orba forms a tooth-shaped peak between the Golo River valley and Cavicchia valley in the Monte Cinto massif of Corsica.
The geological formation of Paglia Orba dates back to the Permian period, consisting of conglomerate rocks and arkosic sandstones that differ from surrounding volcanic formations.
The mountain features the Geologists' Breach, named in memory of a geologist who lost his life while conducting research on the mountain's composition.
Access to Paglia Orba begins at Col de Vergio via Road D84, with the main climbing route starting from Ciottulu a i Mori refuge through Col des Maures.
The mountain hosts the source of Corsica's longest river, the Golo, and features a monoculture of laricio pines in the communal forest of Albertacce.
