It is the highest peak in the Monte Renoso massif.
Location
The peak of Monte Renoso is on the boundary between the commune of Ghisoni in Haute-Corse and the communes of Bastelica and Bocognano in Corse-du-Sud.{{sfn|Node: Monte Renoso (763323197)}}
The peak is located on the S-shaped backbone of the island.{{sfn|Monte Renoso, summitpost}}
The {{convert|2247|m}} Punta Bacinello is to the north, the {{convert|2255|m}} Punta alla Vetta is to the west and the {{convert|2273|m}} Punta Orlandino is to the south.
Lac de Bastani is to the north of the peak, and Lac de Nielluccio is to the east.{{sfn|Node: Monte Renoso (763323197)}}
Lac de Bastiani is a glacier lake that is ice-covered far into the summer.{{sfn|Monte Renoso, summitpost}}
Physical
Monte Renoso has a prominence of {{convert|1189|m}} and elevation of {{convert|2352|m}}.
It is isolated by {{convert|9.12|km}} from its nearest higher neighbor, Monte d'Oro, to the north-northwest.{{sfn|Monte Renoso, France, peakbagger}}
Ski runs were established on the lower slopes to the northeast of the summit, but have since been abandoned due to lack of dependable snow.
The hike to the top from the north is straightforward, but the hiker has to scale many large granite boulders.
Even in summer, the weather on the mountain can be unpredictable.{{sfn|Monte Renoso, summitpost}}
1962 airplane crash
On the 29th of December 1962, the Boeing 307 Stratoliner of Air Nautic left Bastia bound for Nice via Ajaccio.
Passengers included the men's and women's senior teams of the BBCB, the Bastia basketball club.
The plane crashed on Monte Renoso above Ghisoni.
None of the 25 passengers and crew survived.
