Itinerary

Challenge yourself on the southern stretch of Europe’s most demanding long-distance walking trail with the "Corsica GR20 South" tour. This eight-day self-guided journey invites experienced hikers to tackle the rugged wilderness between Capanelle and Conca, traversing the famed GR20. While considered slightly less daunting than the northern half, the scenery is no less breathtaking—think alpine meadows, the Needles of Bavella, and panoramic sea views extending to Sardinia. Daily luggage transfers allow you to walk with just a day pack, and each night’s accommodation offers a glimpse into the region’s rural communities. The unique selling point: the satisfaction of completing one of Europe’s iconic trekking routes, with every step revealing Corsica’s untamed beauty and enduring traditions. Note: A minimum of two participants is required for this tour package.

day 1 - Arrive Vizzavona

Arrive in Vizzavona. In the heart of the GR20 and surrounded by beech and Laricio pine forest, this hamlet is a haven for hikers. Dinner and overnight at the gîte or refuge, according to availability at the time of booking.

Meals:Dinner

day 2 - Walk from Vizzavona to Capanelle via Bocca Palmente (6hrs)

A long first day beginning at the Pass of Vizzavona and climbing to Bocca Palmente. In the heart of the forest of Vizzavona, you will cross several watercourses to reach Bocca Palmente where the views over the lakes of Diana and Urbino are fantastic. Next, after passing the crest, you will encounter several sheepfolds and the hut of Alzeta before finally arriving at the sheepfolds of Capanelle where you will spend the night in a gîte.

day 4 - Ascend to Prati refuge for scenic views, continue walking to Cozzano (8hrs)

You will begin today's walk with an ascent to the Bocca del Orro and towards the refuge of Prati, which is perfectly positioned for beautiful views across to the massif of Renosu. The view is at its best when you reach the crest, towards the Taravo and the Tyrrhenian Sea on the eastern slope and, weather permitting, as far as the island of Elba. Next, you will descend through the forest of St Antoine towards the village of Cozzano, in the heart of Corsica.

After crossing a stream, you will arrive at the plateau of Cuscione and the sheep pastures of Basseta where you overnight in a shepherd's hut.

day 6 - A superb trek on the high route to Bavella (9hrs)

This is the longest and hardest day, but the end of this superb trek is in sight. After a

passage in the forest, you will cross a footbridge to continue through former sheepfolds towards Monte Incudine (2000m). From here you will descend to Asinau to reach your final destination, Bavella and its famous “Aiguilles” (or “needles”), which dominate the landscape of the Alta Rocca. There couldn’t be a more fantastic place to finish today's memorable walk.

You can alternatively follow the softer classical way through forests, dense shrubs and springs. The plateau of the Cuscione offers a gentler terrain with its grazing lands and pozzines (a type of peat bogs).
