GR®20 Crossing Corsica: Hiking from Calenzana to Conca

The GR®20, linking Calenzana to Conca, is a legendary Corsican trail, renowned worldwide for its challenging terrain and the raw beauty of its landscape. The trail traverses the central mountain range, offering a spectacular landscape of granite, jagged peaks and glacial cirques. The flora ranges from dense maquis in the north to majestic high-altitude Corsican pines, including alpine meadows and natural pools (pozzines). The history and heritage of the route are steeped in the past, marked by traditional pastoral life, stone sheepfolds and Corsican mountain culture. The fauna is adapted to this extreme environment, with endemic species such as the Corsican nuthatch and, more rarely, the mouflon, making the GR®20 a unique physical and cultural experience in the heart of the Regional Natural Park.
