**Monte Incudine** ([Corsican](/source/Corsican_language): ***Alcùdina***) is a mountain in the department of [Corse-du-Sud](/source/Corse-du-Sud) on the island of [Corsica](/source/Corsica), France. It is the highest peak in the [Monte Incudine Massif](/source/Monte_Incudine_Massif).

## Location

The peak is on the border between the communes of [Zicavo](/source/Zicavo) to the northwest and [Sartène](/source/Sart%C3%A8ne) to the southeast. The Ruisseau de l'Incudine rises on its northwest slope.[1]

## Physical

Monte Incudine has prominence of 845 metres (2,772 ft) and elevation of 2,134 metres (7,001 ft). It is isolated by 22.07 kilometres (13.71 mi) from [Monte Renoso](/source/Monte_Renoso) to the north-northwest.[2]

## Hiking

The hike to the summit is long, and very steep in some places. Lower down, vegetation includes Laricio pine forests and green meadows. Higher up it becomes more rocky, and the summit is a huge slab of rock strewn with boulders. Often the summit is shrouded by clouds, and snow tends to persist. However, the summit provides an excellent panorama of the Corsican mountains.[3]

The mountain can be hiked as part of the [GR 20](/source/GR_20) route. Alternatively, hikers can begin their climb from the Col de Bavella, accessible by road.
