Punta di Caldane, Mountain summit in Haute-Corse, France.

Standing at 1731 meters, Punta di Caldane features crystalline schist formations and extends across the central chain of Corsica's mountain range.

The mountain served as a natural boundary marker between three ancient pièves territories: Alesani, Bozio, and Serra, defining local administration zones.

Traditional stone bergeries scattered around the mountain slopes continue to represent the pastoral heritage of Corsican mountain communities.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Pianello village, with orange and yellow markers guiding visitors through established paths.

The mountain acts as a tripoint in the Monte San Petrone massif, offering views of both the East coast and the Tavignano valleys.
