Hiking

It is the highest peak in Cap Corse. It looks over the Albo beach and Canelle point to the west and the sea around Sisco to the east. The hike from the village of Olcani climbs for almost 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). At first it follows a track that was meant to cross the cape but has never been paved, which climbs steeply at times to a small chapel in the San Giovanni pass, from where the track leads on to Sisco. A marked path leads towards the Pruberzulu rock, and from there to the summit.
