The GR20, also known as fra li Monti, is a GR (Grande Randonnée) hiking trail that crosses the Mediterranean island of Corsica and runs roughly from north to south. The whole route is about 180 km long with an altitude difference of 12,000 m. Widely regarded as one of the toughest GR routes, this trail challenges hikers with its rugged, technical terrain.
Why both ways?
You can walk the GR20 in either direction, north to south, or south to north. The full trek takes 15 days. However, if you want to do a shorter version of the trek, you can do so. The GR20 can be divided into the northern and the southern half. The southern half is 7 days long and starts from Conca. Instead of going all the way to Calenzana, you will finish your adventure in Vizzavona. You can also do it the other way around, starting from Vizzavona and ending in Conca. The southern section of the GR20 is lighter than the northern section, which is considered the toughest half. If you want to get a taste of the GR20 but you prefer a quieter and lighter trek, the southern half of the GR20 is a great option.
Camping: during this trek, you can also spend the night at camping sites. Contact our trekking experts to find out more about this option!
