To and from the GR20

A handful of roads cross the GR20, and some of them offer transport links. Contact numbers for trains, buses and taxis are given at appropriate points along the course of the GR20 in this guidebook. Some nearby villages may also offer transport links, and where these are available they are noted in the guidebook. Note that there are very few buses running on Sundays, so check timetables carefully or contact the operators to confirm times and pick-up points.

When to trek

May

Trekking the GR20 is not recommended until at least the beginning of June, although it is sometimes possible to start in the middle of May. Last minute travel arrangements can be made if you hear that the route is clear of snow, but those who plan well in advance are taking a big chance, and deep snow could affect the higher parts of the route. The presence of snow and ice on particular parts of the route is usually mentioned on the PNRC blog, randoblogpnrc.blogspot.co.uk. An ice axe and crampons might be required, as well as the skills to use them properly.
