Monte Grosso, Mountain summit in Haute-Corse, France
Monte Grosso is a mountain summit in the Monte Cinto massif reaching roughly 1937 meters high. From its peak you can see across the surrounding ridges and plateaus to the Mediterranean Sea beyond.
Shepherds have used these mountain slopes for livestock grazing since ancient times. The network of old routes crossing the massif shows how deeply pastoral activity has been woven into the history of this region.
Shepherds have shaped how this mountain landscape is used for centuries. You can see their stone shelters and grazing paths scattered across the slopes, evidence of their enduring presence.
Several marked trails lead up the mountain, and sturdy boots and proper gear are necessary for the rocky ground. Weather can shift quickly in the peaks, so check conditions and carry warm layers regardless of the season.
On clear days the peak offers a rare view of both the highest peaks of the Monte Cinto massif and the Mediterranean Sea stretching beyond the foothills. This double perspective of mountain and sea appearing together is what makes the summit worth the climb.
