A sporty hiking holiday goes hand in hand with the island of beauty!
On the GR 20 with his friends
Is lounging on the beach not really your thing?
Spice up your vacation and head to the Isle of Beauty!
If there is one legendary long-distance hiking trail in France, it is undoubtedly the GR20 , which crosses Corsica through the mountains from North to South. The mere mention of it makes the athletic traveler tingle (or shudder) even before they begin walking.
And for good reason, its nearly 14,000 m of elevation gain and its two weeks of walking represent a great objective and a real challenge.
However, besides the demanding full route, the possibilities are vast: northern or southern sections only, with or without porterage. It's up to you to find the option that suits your active travel style.
Magnificent panoramas as you pass through high mountain passes, plateaus or steep terrain, the scenery will amply reward your efforts!
A powerful experience to share, without having to travel to the ends of the earth.
Sea or mountains, why choose? Opt for both for your next sporting trip!
From the beach to the mountain peaks… and back again
No, there's more to Corsica than just the GR20!
Numerous accessible, magnificent, and extremely varied routes crisscross the island. There's something for everyone. From east to west, from coast to coast, from sea to mountain, and from authentic villages in the south or east: you won't have enough vacation time to explore all the getaway opportunities right at your doorstep!
Look no further for your next sports holiday destination: you have found your dream destination.
Charcuterie and canistrelli: a gourmet stay
Supplies for the sporty traveler
A sports holiday means expending energy… which requires quality nutrition.
Thanks to the ruggedness of the Corsican trails and the physical exertion they demand, you can indulge in local charcuterie, cheeses and other canistrelli (addictive traditional biscuits) without any qualms, while of course hydrating yourself and tasting the excellent wines produced on the island.
Enough to leave you fully invigorated for the next stage of your gastronomic and sporting journey!
And for next time, aim for Italy to continue your culinary journey.
