Description

Famous the world over with trekkers, the GR20 in Corsica, France is a staggering, exciting and unbelievably scenic hiking route. The route’s uncanny ability to push you and amaze you in equal measure is unrivaled. Hence the route’s popularity around the world, particularly throughout Europe.

At a length of approximately 180 kilometers, this trek along the GR20 will take 14 days.

The trek is very challenging. The terrain is wildly varied and is often quite rugged. However, the reward you will get to enjoy as a result of that challenge are views that are constantly changing. From peaks and valleys to the gorgeous coast, you will accumulate so many images in your mind, it will take years to unravel them all.

Our accommodations will be as varied as the route itself. But whenever possible we will seek out the most comfortable options. Thus giving you the chance to get a good night’s sleep, which you will need for the following day’s arduous collection of thrills and views.

Due to the challenges of the GR20, as well as the fact we will be trekking for approximately 8 hours a day, it is absolutely necessary that participants are in excellent physical condition. Prior experience trekking in rugged conditions is also very advantageous.

Are you looking for a challenging trek that will push you and thrill you? Have you ever wanted to explore the beautiful island of Corsica? Then this 14-day adventure on the GR20 is for you. To experience it for yourself, just send a request. I look forward to guiding you on an expedition you will never forget.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
