The Man of Cagna

Highlight • Natural Monument

L'Uomo di Cagna (Omu di Cagna in Corsican) means "dog man", in reference to the two granite blocks that give the summit its anthropomorphic silhouette. It peaks at 1,217 m and offers a breathtaking view of the coast.

Very nice hike
Departure 7 a.m.: ascent in the shade 😅
The arrival at the summit is poorly marked and requires climbing on rocky blocks...
breathtaking panorama over the whole of southern Corsica 🤩
Unmissable 👍

Do not rely on the time given by the app, 3 hours to go up and a little less to go down. Beautiful hike but 10% easy and 90% climbing on scree stones or on large rocks, more climbing than walking.
