The Monte Incudine massif (French : Massif du Monte Incudine) is a chain of mountains located in the south region of the island of Corsica, France. It takes its name from Monte Incudine, which is the highest peak.
The Monte Incudine massif is the southernmost of the four largest blocks of mountains in Corsica, the others being (from north to south), the Monte Cinto massif, monte Rotondo massif and Monte Renoso massif. [1] These massifs form the Corse cristalline, mainly composed of magmatic rocks such as granites, granulites, porphyries and rhyolites. The Monte Incudine massif dominates the Sartenais and extends south to the Cagna mountain. [2]
