Capu Larghia

Capu Larghia, Mountain summit in Corsica, France.

Capu Larghia is a summit with two peaks of equal height, 2,503 metres, in the Monte Cinto massif of northern Corsica. Its upper face is bare grey rock, split by dark vertical gullies and ridges, with patches of snow in the hollows near the top. Dense forest covers the lower slopes.

The name Capu Larghia comes from a 19th-century transcription error: the plan terrier name Capo Jarghia Minuta was misapplied to this summit and its neighbour Punta Minuta. On Napoleonic cadastral maps of Asco and Albertacce (1855–1879) the peak appears as Capo al Portello, from the Corsican purtellu, the opening now called Brèche Félix between the two points.

The summit sits along a section of the GR20, a long-distance trail connecting mountain landscapes across the island. Hikers converge here at a point reachable from many different parts of Corsica.

Only experienced mountaineers with proper gear should attempt this summit, as steep pitches and exposed rock sections present serious challenges. Daylight hours must be carefully planned to safely manage descent and return.
