The Grande Randonnée 20 (GR 20) is a 180 km long alpine long-distance hiking trail that runs across the Mediterranean island of Corsica.

The GR 20, which runs from the north towards the south, is one of the most demanding tours in the whole of Europe. On this tough, but also particularly beautiful tour, you can experience the breathtaking and unique beauty of the island of Corsica on 16 stages.The start of the long-distance trail is in the town of Calenzana in the northwest; the end of the tour is in the southeast of Corsica, in the town of Conca. The route, which is only suitable for very experienced climbers, runs across the mountains of Corsica up to an altitude of 2,400 m, with some climbing and pass roads to overcome.
