Head to Monacia d’Aullène via the RT40 (formerly the RN196). The walk starts from the main (and only) street in the hamlet of Giannuccio, where you should park as soon as possible, as there are no other parking options further into the village, which is a cul-de-sac.
(S/E) Follow the main road as it climbs. Turn right at the first junction (the “L’Uomo di Cagna” path is signposted).
(1) The path is then reached by taking a sharp left-hand bend. Walk alongside a stone wall and follow the path as it climbs.
(2) At a junction, turn right to follow the direction indicated by a sign attached to a tree.
From this point, follow the yellow markings present throughout the route. The path enters the woodland and skirts the 887-metre peak to the south. Continue climbing in a north-easterly direction, through increasingly open terrain.
(3) Towards the end of the ascent, the route takes you through a field of boulders and you will often need to use your hands to help you along. Follow this tricky path to the summit of Uomo di Cagna.
(4) The return journey follows exactly the same path as the outward journey, taking you back to the starting point (S/E).
