Punta Rossa, Mountain summit in Corsica, France
Punta Rossa rises to 2,330 meters within the Monte-Rotondo massif, featuring granite formations and multiple climbing routes to reach the peak.
The summit has served as a crucial navigation point for maritime travelers along the Corsican coast since ancient Mediterranean trading routes.
Local shepherds have traditionally used the slopes of Punta Rossa for seasonal grazing, maintaining centuries-old pastoral practices in the region.
Access to the summit requires proper mountaineering equipment and is recommended from June to September when the paths are clear of snow.
The mountain contains numerous tafoni formations, circular holes in the granite created by natural erosion processes over thousands of years.
