Hike the GR20 in Corsica, one of the most beautiful mountain treks in the world. Over 13 days, we hike 110mi (180km) in mountainous terrain, rising from the Mediterranean Sea to granite peaks topping 8,530ft (2,600m). Rather than take the classic north-to-south route, we head in the opposite direction, with the sun on our backs, a quieter trail, and the toughest legs at the end of the trip. You won’t be doing it alone either. The adventure is guided by an experienced International Mountain Leader with expert knowledge on the route and you’ll be part of a small group of like-minded hikers ready with words of encouragement.

The trip was well organised and the tour guides communicated clearly with us at every stage. The hotels were comfortable and I was happy with the number of places we had seen and the time we spent at each place. I especially appreciated the Spanish tour guides also in addition to the English ones. Alberto was comfortable in English and kept the entire group entertained by his travel tips. Mariella too was comfortable in English and was also very friendly and helpful. This was my first experience with a bus tour and I was really pleased with the entire trip. Congratulations to a very talented and efficient team!!
