Monte Astu

Monte Astu reaches an elevation of 1,535 meters above sea level, forming the highest point of the Serra di Tenda mountain range in northern Corsica.

The mountain stands as a natural border between the communes of Lama and Sorio, contributing to the territorial organization of Haute-Corse through centuries.

The mountain represents a central element in northern Corsican geography, separating the Nebbio region from the Ostriconi valley through its granite formations.

Hikers access the summit through a marked 12.8-kilometer round trip trail from Lama, requiring six hours of walking and 1,043 meters of elevation gain.

The summit offers clear views of northern Corsica, including the Agriates Desert, Monte Cinto massif, Saint-Florent bay, and L'Île-Rousse simultaneously.
