Koruna Korsiky
The Corsican Crown is a mountain hiking challenge designed for those who want to experience Corsica in its wildest, highest, and most authentic form. It's not just about collecting summits – it's a true journey through the mountains, a physical and mental challenge, and a respect for one of the harshest mountain areas of the Mediterranean.
The goal of the challenge is to summit the 10 highest peaks of Corsica with a prominence of at least 100 meters, as well as the 10 most prominent peaks of the island. Together, this creates a unique cross-section of Corsican mountains – from iconic landmarks to lesser-known, yet rawer summits.
Prominence is not just a number. It expresses the true independence of a mountain in the terrain – how much it "stands out" from its surroundings. This means the challenge includes not only the highest points of the island but also peaks that have a distinct character, far-reaching views, and often demanding ascents.
The challenge is not a race and has no time limit. Everyone can spread it out according to their capabilities – during one season, or gradually over several years.
