Standing at 2,327 meters, Punta Artica forms part of the Monte Rotondo massif, marking the division between the Golo and Tavignano valleys in Corsica.

Hiking to Punta Artica involves a 14.7-kilometer trail with 1,207 meters of elevation change, requiring approximately seven hours to complete the journey.
