Punta Rossa

Punta Rossa, Mountain summit in Corsica, France

Punta Rossa, also called pic von Cube, is a summit in the Monte Cinto massif in Haute-Corse, reaching 2,247 metres. It stands on the communes of Asco and Manso and closes the Asco valley to the south-west, above the Cascettoni mountain cirque. Its upper part is dark rock streaked with snow, dropping in a broad face toward the valley.

Punta Rossa, also called pic von Cube, is a summit of the Monte Cinto massif in Corsica. It rises to 2,247 metres on the boundary of the communes of Asco and Manso in Haute-Corse, closing the Asco valley to the south-west above the Cascettoni mountain cirque.

The peak is also known as pic von Cube, a name that appears alongside Punta Rossa in Corsican and French usage. The summit stands above the Cascettoni mountain cirque and closes the Asco valley to the south-west, on the boundary of Asco and Manso communes.

Punta Rossa stands on the boundary of Asco and Manso communes in Haute-Corse, closing the Asco valley to the south-west above the Cascettoni cirque. Approach routes start from these two communes; the summit is not a marked trail destination, so plan the route from the valley before setting out. Snow and cloud cover the upper rock face well beyond spring, as seen on the peak's north side.

The summit's other name, pic von Cube, honours the German botanist Wilhelm von Cube, who explored Corsica's flora in the 19th century. The peak closes the Asco valley to the south-west, above the Cascettoni cirque, and is split between the communes of Asco and Manso.
