Aiguilles de Popolasca

The Aiguilles de Popolasca is a mountain group in northern Corsica with red granite peaks reaching 2180 meters (7150 feet). The range features sparse vegetation and rocky terrain across several valleys and interconnected ridges.

The mountain passages have been crossed for centuries, with routes initially established to link distant settlements across the highlands. These ancient pathways form the foundation for modern hiking trails in the area.

The mountain peaks serve as a gathering place for hikers and mountaineers from nearby villages who maintain long-standing traditions of exploring these highlands. Local communities continue to use traditional routes that have connected their settlements for generations.

The best season for hiking is from May to October when the paths are snow-free and most accessible. Good footwear and sufficient water are essential, as the rough terrain demands physical effort.

Near Logoniello valley sits a hidden thermal spring called Vetta di Muro that many hikers overlook during their treks. This geothermal feature reveals the geological diversity of the region beyond its prominent peaks.
