Weather forecasts, known as meteos, should be obtained on a daily basis at the refuges along the way. Those trekking the GR20 early or later in the season could have difficulty obtaining forecasts. Either carry a small radio, or if a mobile signal is available, tel 08 99 71 02 20, or if internet is available, check www.meteofrance.com.

Path conditions

In many places the GR20 is a narrow, stony, rocky mountain trail. Trekkers usually move in single file and give way to those coming in the opposite direction. However, some parts are well-trodden and well-marked, with multiple trodden paths. The standard form of waymarking quickly becomes familiar. One red and one white stripe of paint, parallel to each other, are daubed at intervals on rocks, trees, boulders and other immovable objects. There are a few signposts, generally at the refuges, or at prominent intersections with other routes. Painted markers are slowly being replaced by small plaques fixed to rocks, posts, trees and buildings.
