Corsica with one of Europe’s best mountain hikes the GR20

So many highlights

This is a trek you will never forget:

• The beauty,

• the unique views of rocky mountains with the blue Mediterranean in the background

• the challenge

• the sunshine and heat

• the snowy peaks early and late in the season

• a fantastic collective mix of rock, woods, lakes, streams, peaks and the Mediterranean

• Corsicas highest point Monte Cinto 2.706 meters, Paglia Orba 2.325 m, Bavella Peaks…..

• and the wild pigs roaming around….

How to get there ?

We split the GR20 up in two parts - first the north the first year, then the south the following year. Clearly the north is the hardest challenge in steep mountains, while the south has more rolling hills.

We flew into Calvi in the north taking a taxi up to Calenzana to start the trek the following day after a good nights sleep at Hotel Bel Horizon. The first week ended in Vizzavona, where we took the train down to Ajaccio enjoying half a day before catching an evening plane home.

For the southern half we flew into and out of Bastia on the north west coast. From here the train to Ajaccio stops in Vizzavona for our start.  From the last stop in Conza the hotel took us in their bus down to the coastal road to catch the bus to Bastia.
