About Corsica
Rising abruptly from the Mediterranean Sea between France and Italy, Corsica is the largest and most geographically diverse of the Mediterranean Islands.
Expect everything from snowcapped peaks, high plains and pretty mountain villages to lush forests, alpine lakes and plunging gorges, all fringed with a jagged coastline of granite pinnacles, historic lookouts and sheer cliff faces, tumbling to white sandy beaches below. This is an outdoor adventure playground like no other!
The 200km-long Grand Randonnee 20 (GR20)— considered Europe's most challenging long-distance walking trail—runs almost the full length of Corsica from north to south, exploring the island’s dramatic landscapes, historical sites and rich cultural heritage.
With options to walk or cycle different sections of the GR20 and beyond, guided or self-guided, our Corsican adventures are designed to get you deep into the heart of this extraordinary destination.
