GR20 or Fra Li Monti as it is also called is said to be the toughest long distance trail in Europe. This is a 180km long trail that traverses the island of Corsica diagonally from north to south. Considered to be one of the most beautiful mountain trails in Europe, it is also the most difficult of the various GR routes according to many. The starting point of GR20 is the small village of Calenzana in the north, ending at the likewise small village of Conca in the south. Vizzavona marks the end of the northern part, and the beginning of the southern part. When finishing the trail, hikers will have traversed about 10 000 height meters, usually using around 15 days to complete.
In the fall of 2012, I set sails to Corsica to hike the GR20, a step up in terms of difficulty from last years Camino in Spain. Here you will find my tale from the Corsican mountains:
