Pointe Liciola, Mountain summit in Albertacce, France.
Pointe Liciola is a mountain summit at 2235 meters in Corsica with rocky ground and natural stone formations. The terrain consists of exposed rock and debris typical of high mountain regions in this area.
The mountain area around Pointe Liciola contains traces of ancient settlements showing long human presence in this part of Corsica. The region has been inhabited since early times, leaving marks on the landscape that remain visible today.
The paths to the summit follow ancient shepherd routes that locals have used for generations to move their herds across the highlands. These trails remain visible in the landscape today and show how people have moved through these mountains for centuries.
Marked trails connect the summit to the GR20 hiking route, and a mountain refuge nearby offers shelter for multi-day expeditions. The hiking season runs from late summer through early fall when weather conditions tend to be most stable.
From the summit you can see two different forest ecosystems, the Foret d'Aitone and Foret de Valdo-Niello, meeting at this elevation. This rare meeting point of two distinct forests offers an unusual view of how different environments merge on the island.
