Corsica's GR20 is officially divided into 16 stages, which means 16 days on the track. Is it possible to double the stages and finish the walk faster? Absolutely! If you are a fit and confident hiker, you can even try to do it in 10 days. In my case, it was a little longer though. In this blog post, I'm going to share with you my 14-day itinerary for hiking the GR20 in Corsica with walk notes, daily distance, and elevation change. For other key information about the hike, go to a separate post, GR20 Corsica: everything you need to know [2023].

The French Grande Randonnée number 20, better known as the GR20, is a 180 km long hiking trail that winds its way through the mountainous heart of Corsica. It's also commonly described as the toughest long-distance hike in all of Europe. The GR20 consists of two parts. The south part, which is considered moderate, and the north part, which is known for being more technical. In June 2023, I made a solo attempt to complete the GR20 in 14 days, and here is everything you need to know about this hike before you go.

Packing for a long-distance hike is always challenging. You need to bring all the essentials with you, and at the same time, keep the pack weight low. The painful truth is that if you pack too much stuff, your knees will suffer, and you will most likely struggle on the technical parts. Corsica's GR20 is no joke! This is a 180 km long hike with a total elevation change of 28 000 m, so every kilogram matters. In this blog post, I'm going to share with you the ultimate packing list for the GR20 in Corsica, perfect for late June, and early July. Let's go!
