Monte Cinto 2706m.
The highest Corsican peak.
Long, long way up from Niolu valley (almost 2000 vertical meters combined).
The route that we have chosen at this time passes through Erco hut at 1667m and directly through Southern slope to the summit.
On the way down though we have walked through “la Pointe des Eboulis” and “lac de Cinto” valley back to Erco hut and further down to the camp site in Niolu valley.
A pair of running shoes and walking sticks were adequate.
Skies partly clouded up, hid away the magnificent view of Paglia Orba.
Happy birds (chocards a bec jaune) feeding session on the summit.
Small number of people present coming from both : Ascu and Niolu valleys.
Another great day in the mountains for which we are thankful
