The GR20, also known as Fra li Monti, is a legendary GR (Grande Randonnée) hiking trail that traverses the stunning Mediterranean island of Corsica, stretching approximately 180 km from north to south with a staggering altitude gain of 12,000 meters. Renowned as one of the most challenging GR routes in the world, it promises an unforgettable adventure. Are you up for the challenge?
Why Both Directions?
The GR20 can be hiked in either direction—north to south or south to north. While the classic route starts in Calenzana in the north and ends in Conca in the south, this version begins in the south and finishes in the north. Choosing this direction offers a quieter trail, fewer crowds, and the chance to experience the stunning Corsican landscape in a unique way.
Camping: during this trek, you can also spend the night at camping sites. Contact our trekking experts to find out more about this option!

We will arrange your accommodation on the GR20 in mountain huts. The mountain huts along the GR20 offer basic shared accommodation and food. These refuges come under the regional Corsican natural park’s authority and can host 25-50 people depending on the hut. In case the mountain huts are fully booked, we will automatically book a tent for you. In Refuge d'Ortu di u Piobbu, you will spend the night in a tent in all cases.

Should you need any form of (public) transport on location, this is not part of the trekking package. This includes the use of taxi, bus, cable cars, gondolas, ferries, etc.

Personal expenses on such as souvenirs, drinks, and other similar expenses are for your own account.
Meals are not included in the price on the GR20 . You can get something to eat at the mountain huts along the way or you can get food from the towns below the trail. If you want to have a warm dinner at the hut, remember to ask for it as soon as you get to the hut.
