The GR20 is the stuff of legend. Most seasoned trekkers have it on their bucket lists. It crosses the rugged and spectacular mountains on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. It is one of the wildest treks in Europe. Unspoilt and remote mountain terrain: jagged rocky peaks, sheer cliffs, lofty mountain passes, shimmering cobalt lakes and glorious green pastures bedecked with wild-flowers.
