The **Capu Biancu** is a mountain in the department of [Haute-Corse](/source/Haute-Corse) on the island of [Corsica](/source/Corsica), France.

## Location

Capu Biancu is on a ridge that forms the boundary between the communes of [Asco](/source/Asco%2C_Haute-Corse) and [Corscia](/source/Corscia) in Haute-Corse. Other peaks on the ridge are the 2,583 metres (8,474 ft) [Capo al Berdato](/source/Capo_al_Berdato) to the west, and 2,268 metres (7,441 ft) Capo Razino to the east.[1] The ridge separates the [Asco](/source/Asco_(river)) valley to the north from the Niolo to the south.[2] The nearest road is the D147 to the north, which runs west from the village of Asco. The Ruisseau de Ghieriosa rises to the west of the Capu Biancu. It is a tributary of the Ruisseau de Stranciacone, one of the headwaters of the Asco.[1]

## Physical

The Capu Biancu has an elevation of 2,562 metres (8,406 ft) and a clean prominence of 140 metres (460 ft). It has an isolation of 3.62 kilometres (2.25 mi) from [Monte Cinto](/source/Monte_Cinto) to the southwest.[3] It is in the [Monte Cinto Massif](/source/Monte_Cinto_Massif).

## Hiking

The peak may be accessed from Asco through the Pinara Valley or from the village of Corscia on the Nolo side. The route from Corscia follows the road and then a marked trail past the Funtana di Callaiola to the Bergerie Caracuto, and then a line of cairns to the lake of Occihi Neri. From there the route is over [scree](/source/Scree) and rock to the summit. It takes about ten hours out and back.[2]
