Hiking to Monte Renoso (Southern Corsica)

Description

Culminating point of Southern Corsica with its 2352 meters above sea level, the Monte Renoso (also named Monte Renosu) is one of the most beautiful belvederes of Corsica. On this day, I invite you to hike its trails and climb its peak.

After an initial section in the scrubland, we will take time to pause on the welcoming shores of Lake Bastani, a glacial lake frozen for around 7 months of the year, before entering the realm of high mountains and eternal snows. You will make your way through a mineral world populated by tiny endemic plants, before finally reaching the summit. From here you can enjoy one of the island's finest 360-degree panoramas, with views of its high peaks: Mote d'Oro, Rotondo, Paglia Orba and, of course, Monte Cinto, Corsica's highest point, as well as Monte Incudine to the south, all with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.

If this day hike makes you want to discover other beautiful places in the south of Corsica, I propose the following outings:

• a hike to discover the "Aiguilles de Bavella",
• a magnificent discovery of the Ospédale,
• a hike to discover the Pozzi
• and a hiking day on the Coscione plateau (also available in winter with sbowshoes).
