Carte maps IGN : 4149OT/4250OT - Download GPX file - French

Organizing his "Fra li Monti" GR 20 is essential: 6-9 hours walking per day, 180 to 200 km in total from 15 to 18,000 m elevation gain. The trail is not a easy walk, but a sporting hike that requires strong physical and mental conditions, knowledge of the mountain, technical preparation, adaptation to climate ... Kilian Jornet holds the record for the crossing ... 32 hours! Congratulations!

The FFRP guidebook (and / or IGN map) is imperative.
It is possible from Calinzana (departure GR North) to reach Conca (arrival GR South) within 10/15 days, or vice versa, or to stop halfway in 5 / 7 days until Vizzavona. The route north / south in the National Park of Corsica is preferred in June, September and October.

The main difficulty of the hike is to take the time: make a full trail with a 15/20 kg backpack (in total autonomy, gaz, tent, etc..). Water source is daily . Technical parts are many, steep, but ok by pulling on the arms and legs, just want it, just do it.
