Embark on an adventurous trek along the GR20 in Corsica, known as Europe's toughest and most beautiful mountain trail.
We have five nights in hotels, four nights in dorm rooms, and five nights camping in refuges.
GR20 accommodation is well-known to be basic and used by almost everyone completing the route - part of the adventurous nature of the trek. As the route stays high, the only options without leaving the trail are small refuges or bergeries (shepherd's huts).
Refuge meals will be hearty and simple, for example, salad, soup, stew and bread and a desert. You sleep in shared bedrooms (often bunk beds with six or more per room) or larger dormitories. Expect simple separate male and female bathroom facilities. While all refuges are staffed, the level of cleanliness may be a little below expectations.
As many of these buildings are small and old, in some locations the guardians also provide tents to expand the sleeping capacity. These are likely to be simple two-person pop-up tents with foam sleeping matts provided. Bathroom facilities are shared and meals are taken in the main refuge.
Worth knowing
The dormitories in which we stay are all mixed sex. Depending on the group size, the dorms may also contain trekkers who are not part of our group.
