Maniccia

Maniccia is a mountain summit in Corsica's central chain at 2,496 meters, forming part of the Monte Rotondo massif. It stands among the highest peaks in the region and offers different approach routes from nearby refuges.

The summit served for centuries as a boundary marker between historical Corsican districts. Its geographic position made it a key reference point for regional divisions of the land.

The mountain represents a natural landmark for local communities, with inhabitants of Corte, Venaco, and Guagno sharing territorial connections to its slopes.

The climb to this summit typically starts from Petra Piana refuge and passes through Bocca Muzzella. Climbers need proper mountain gear and should plan for reliable weather windows.

A western secondary peak reaches 2,425 meters and marks the highest point in South Corsica. This lower summit creates a natural dividing line between different administrative regions.
