The Legendary GR20 Trail in Corsica

The GR20 hiking trail in Corsica is one of Europe's most well-known and difficult long-distance hikes. It is a legendary long-distance hiking trail that runs diagonally from Calenzana in the north to Conca in the south on the island of Corsica.

The 200-kilometer path follows the granite backbone of the island's mountains, many of which rise beyond 2000 meters. This renowned trail is popular with advanced hikers because of its stunning canyons and rugged mountains. The sun-drenched trail runs from north to south across the whole island of Corsica, winding through a landscape of rocky mountains and wild gorges. The trail is not only a test of physical endurance, but it is also in remote terrain, which adds a psychological challenge. The hike should only be tried by those who are well-prepared. Mountain houses called "refuges" or gîtes may be seen along the trail. The quality and cost of rooms and food vary for each refuge. Hikers are allowed to pitch tents near the refuge, but not along the trail.
