The GR20, also called fra li Monti, is a legendary GR (Grande Randonnée) hiking trail that spans the Mediterranean island of Corsica from north to south. Stretching around 180 km with an altitude gain of 12,000 m, it is often regarded as one of the most challenging GR routes.

Why Both Directions?
The GR20 can be hiked in either direction—north to south or south to north. The entire trek typically takes 15 days, but shorter options are available. You can choose to hike either the northern or southern section. This southern half is a 6-day journey that begins in Vizzavona and finishes in Conca, but can also be done the other way around. Compared to the more demanding northern part, the southern section is quieter and less strenuous, making it ideal for those seeking a more relaxed introduction to the GR20.

Camping: during this trek, you can also spend the night at camping sites. Contact our trekking experts to find out more about this option!
