Capu à a Cùccula, Mountain summit in Évisa, France
Capu à a Cùccula is a mountain summit in the Corsican town of Évisa that rises to about 2049 meters above sea level. From this peak, you can see both the highest mountains of Corsica and the Gulf of Porto.
Shepherds have used the paths around this peak for centuries, creating a network of trails connecting different mountain settlements. These routes remain important pathways across the high terrain.
A wooden sculpture of Christ stands at the summit, showing how religious symbols are woven into Corsican mountain landscapes. Such monuments shape the appearance of many local peaks.
Hikers starting from Col de Vergio should bring plenty of water, as there are few water sources along the uphill walk. Good planning and proper equipment make the climb more manageable.
On clear days, you can see both the Mediterranean Sea and Corsica's highest mountain ranges at the same time from this peak, making it an unusual vantage point. This rare perspective shows the island's full geographic variety in a single view.
