Luxury lodgings

There are a few hotels and gîtes d’étape on or near the GR20. Trekkers can indulge themselves at these places, enjoying comfortable rooms and hot showers, and eating in restaurants or dining rooms. It is possible to phone ahead and book accommodation at most of these places, and telephone numbers are given throughout this guidebook.

Village life

Detours off-route for accommodation, food and drink in nearby villages are heartily recommended, as the course of the GR20 allows little interaction with native Corsicans. Information is provided about spurs and loops taking in a handful of fine little villages, listing their facilities and transport links.

Back-up

For those wanting vehicle back-up for their trek, road access is possible at the start, finish, and at seven points in between: Calenzana, Ascu Stagnu, Hôtel Castel di Vergio, Vizzavona, Bergeries d’ E Capanelle, Bocca di Verdi, Bassetta/Matalza, Village de Bavella and Conca. The back-up driver would need to find some other occupation for the days between supplying trekkers’ needs, but there is plenty of interest around Corsica.
