The legendary GR20

The GR20 is Corsica’s legendary trail, famous for its demanding terrain, spectacular scenery and reputation as one of Europe’s toughest hikes. 

The full 106-mile route runs from Calenzana in the northwest to Conca near Porto-Vecchio. Each year around 10,000 hikers take on the challenge. Along the way, you’ll encounter granite peaks, forests, glacial lakes, rocky ridges and high mountain peaks. It takes around two weeks, but you can tackle half, with the village of Vizzavona providing a mid-way point (and train connection). The GR20 is a serious challenge, best suited to experienced mountain walkers.

GR20 North & South

Walking Tough

Take on a cross-island adventure with GR20 North and South, combining 13 days of mountain walking. From dramatic granite landscapes in the north to rugged peaks in the south, you’ll experience memorable scenery, remote villages and a true sense of achievement on Corsica’s iconic trail.

GR20 North

Walking Tough

The GR20 North is the tougher half, taking you through high ridges, deep chasms and bare granite landscapes between Vizzavona and Bonifato. Expect steep ascents, descents and spectacular scenery throughout. Don’t be mistaken: it’s a challenge, requiring fitness, sure-footedness and ‘scrambling’ experience.

GR20 South

Walking Tough

The GR20 South offers a gentler introduction to Corsica’s trail, although it remains challenging. Walking from Bavella to Vizzavona, you’ll enjoy lower altitude gains and more frequent luggage access compared to the northern section of the GR20, making this section more manageable for experienced walkers.
