Alternatives

Note that there are sometimes high- and low-level alternatives along the way. This provides trekkers with a choice of route. Sometimes the main route is the low-level one, and sometimes the high-level route can be a bit easier than the low-level route. Alternative routes are fully described in this guidebook in exactly the same detail as the main route. Note that whenever alternative routes are presented in this guide, the ‘A’ route is the main route and the ‘B’ route is the variant.

Links

Trekkers who complete the whole of the GR20 sometimes regret that they didn’t visit some of the villages off-route. This guidebook includes off-route links with a handful of villages, so that at least a little Corsican culture can be enjoyed. These links also allow trekkers to leave the route if time is limited, with onward transport services mentioned.

Mountains

The hardiest enthusiasts could trek the whole of the GR20 and include a handful of mountain peaks along the way. Some of the prominent peaks close to the route can be climbed with a little scrambling. Those trekking the GR20 and climbing a few extra peaks should allow about three weeks. Details of the more popular extra ascents are given in this guidebook, including some of the highest mountains in Corsica.
