The '''Monte Stello Massif''' ({{langx|fr|'''Massif du Monte Stello'''}}) is a chain of mountains in the island of [[Corsica]], France, that forms the spine of the northern peninsula, [[Cap Corse]]. It takes its name from [[Monte Stello]], which was long thought to be the highest peak, but more recently it has been determined that [[Cima di e Follicie]] is the highest.
==Geography== The Monte Stello Massif constitutes the mountain spine of Cap Corse, at the northeastern end of the island. Of the mountains, Cima di e Follicie surpasses Monte Stello by {{convert|15|m}} to reach {{convert|1322|m}} in height.{{sfn|Les 7 massifs corses}} The [[Col de Santo Stefano]], or Santo Stefano pass, provides a route from the Mediterranean coast to the Tyrrhenian coast of Corsica. It divides the Monte Stello Massif from the Monte Astu Massif, both part of "[[Schistose]] Corsica" in the northeast of the island.{{sfn|Col de Santo Stefano Top10Endroits}} The Lugo or Campodata stream rises on the western slope of the pass, a tributary of the [[Aliso River]], and the [[Bevinco]] river flows through the Lancone gorge on the eastern side.{{sfn|Col de Santo Stefano Top10Endroits}}{{sfn|Way: Ruisseau de Campodata (719031815)}} The massif stretches over {{convert|40|km}} from north to south, from the tip of Cap Corse to the Col de Santo Stefano.
