Hiking
At 1767m, Monte San Petrone is the highest peak in the Castagniccia region.
Castagniccia stands for the Corsican name 'chestnut grove' and covers the hilly area between Bastia and Aleria in the east of Corsica.
The starting point is Pie-d'Orezza or Campodonico. The best place to park is at Pie-d'Orezza along the D71. There are a few places to park your car. This is not the case in the small town of Campodonico.
A wonderful and well-marked circular hike to the summit of San Petrone.
