L'Inscinosa

L'Inscinosa is a summit reaching 834 meters in northern Corsica with expansive views over the Mediterranean landscape below. The peak features rock formations shaped by wind erosion across its surface and ridgelines.

The mountain belongs to ancient mountain ranges that formed during the geological separation of Corsica from continental Europe millions of years ago. This geological history continues to shape the island's landscape today.

Pathways crossing the slopes reflect generations of shepherds using this mountain for their herds and daily movement through the landscape. These routes show how people have traditionally lived with and worked the terrain over time.

Strong hiking boots and proper mountain gear are essential for climbing, as conditions change significantly with the season. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable conditions for reaching the summit and enjoying clear views.

The rock formations at the summit create natural shelters that local wildlife has used as refuge for a long time. These caves and crevices show how wind and water have carved useful spaces into the stone.
