GR 20, Nicest GR of the world!

Grande Randonnée is a true track of legend. It's position as the nicest but also most demanding track in Corsica, or even in Europe. But effort is worth trouble! Going up and down the island straight through of Calenzana( near Calvi) in Conca( near Porto-Vechio). This GR "not like others" while crossing the landscapes, GR is a extraordinary beauty of the island.

From village to refuge, from vally to mountain, from forest to maquis, GR20 invites a regulated hike by the singing of birds, by the transhumance of the herds of ewes or by typical Corsican singing which rise magical on the village coffee shop. There, down below in the vally...

While crossing from the Regional Natural Corsian park, he allows to discover inaccessible landscapes in another way-human and sportive. Ambience of the rando, pleasure of accomplished effort, joy of discoveries, magic of sunsets on mountains and forests...

GR 20 offers other ramble discoveries of Corsica. "Mare e Monti" "Mare a Mare" and several others allow to leave on the meeting of authentic Corsican soul. That of the inside the island the sheep barns and from insulated mountain villages. Soul which is impossible to approach and to like on over crowded beaches of the south or in nightclubs of Calvi, Russet island or Saint-Florent.

GR for the true lovers of the Island of beauty!
