Monte Cinto

Monte Cinto is the highest mountain on the island of Corsica. Its altitude is 2,706 m and so is its prominence, making it one of the most prominent peaks in Europe. The first known ascent of Monte Cinto was by a party led by Édouard Rochat on June 6, 1882, who reached the summit via the mountain's southern slopes. The most distant mountain theoretically visible is Monte Rosa in Switzerland, an astonishing 405 km (252 mi) distant.
