Geography
The elevation of the mountain is 2,706 metres (8,878 ft) and so is its prominence, making it one of the most prominent peaks in Europe. It is the highest peak of the Monte Cinto massif, one of the four main massifs in Corsica.
Its location gives it a theoretical panorama of mountains on mainland Europe stretching from near Marseille to Rome. The most distant mountain theoretically visible is Monte Rosa in Italy, just west of north, approximately 405 km (252 mi) away.[2]
History
The first known ascent of Monte Cinto was on 6 June 1882, by a party led by Édouard Rochat who reached the summit via the mountain's southern slopes. On 26 May 1883 a party led by the English mountaineer Francis Fox Tuckett, and including the French guide François Devouassoud and the landscape painter Edward Theodore Compton, also ascended the mountain by the pass that now bears Tuckett's name.
Today, the GR 20 hiking trail passes close to Monte Cinto, and walkers can make a short detour to the summit.

Der Monte Cinto (korsisch Cintu) ist mit 2706 Metern Höhe der höchste Berg der Mittelmeerinsel Korsika, er liegt im Cinto-Massiv im nordwestlichen korsischen Hochgebirge. Der Berg sendet nach Nordosten und Südwesten ausgeprägte Grate und wird wegen seiner guten Rundsicht sowohl im Sommer, als auch im Winter oft bestiegen. Die erste dokumentierte touristische Besteigung des Cinto hat am 6. Juni 1882 durch den französischen Alpinisten Edouard Rochat stattgefunden.[1] Am 26. Mai 1883 erreichten Francis Fox Tuckett, Edward Theodore Compton und der Bergführer Henri Dévouassoud den Gipfel.- [en] Monte Cinto
