Hiking the GR20 in Corsica - Highlights of a 11 days adventure

- With a friend we hiked the toughest long trail in Corsica this summer - the GR20
Instead of the recommended 16 days itinerary, we did it from north to south in 11 days, with a total distance of 220km (the official number is 180km, my friend's watch recorded 220km with all the side hikes we did) , and 13km elevation gain.
Here's a cinematic travel video of this unforgettable trek, hope it will give you an idea of how the trails look like and how breathtaking the views are.
ps: a lot of people don't recommend doing the GR20 with a backpack heavier than 12kg, mine was 17kg (5kg camera gear) on the first day and I was definitely fine.
I've done a 10-days self guided hike in the Andes though ( 3500aslm +) , with a 22kg backpack as there was no food supply at all :p
So my recommendation would be: go with your experience

Love how you Europeans backpack. Bread, cheese, salami and bottled beer! Here it’s a clif bar and powdered electrolytes in water.
Because that‘s how our grandparents taught us (at least mine did)
Gives you energy and makes the trip so much more fun.
There is no wildcamping in corsica so you sleep at campsites that sometimes have little local shops where you can get these ;) you don't carry it all the way
That looks like an amazing adventure. I'm glad CZcams suggested this video to me.
It was ! I won't hesitate to do it again ;)
Amazing! I were three times in Corsica but more on the coasts and beaches than in the mountains. Think in summer I have to change this....
The coast is absolutely amazing too! yeah I def encourage you to check out the mountains next time, apart from the breathtaking landscapes, there are plenty of waterfalls and streams to cool down too ;)
An awesome made video compilation!!!
Short, informative, high quality, well done!
Thanks for sharing! ;)
ohhh thank you for your kind words ❤️
Total magic, sky rocks and water
It is!!
Krásný ❤❤❤❤❤
amazing tour, great video and nice music
Thank you for your kind words :)
Sempre bello ed emozionante vedere il GR20 , fatto interamente nel 1985 , bellissima esperienza anche se molto duro .

suggestion for trip.
slovenian mountain trail. 617km, 38000m elevation. 21-32 days. beautiful and kind of extrem
indeed
that sounds like a very long trail !
Really enjoyed this cinematic. one question did you wild camp all the way. please please reply thanks in advance.
just came back 4 days ago from GR20.... And want go back already.
Hi! I'm just coming across this video and I would love to do the GR20 in 11 days. Could you share your itinerary on how you did it?
Magnifique vidéo, merci !!!
Avec plaisir 🙂
Well nice, and top trolling with the 'topless' thumbnail for clicks but honestly, 17kg backpack? WTF are you doing? Glad you enjoyed it but would've been nicer shaving off at least 50% of that, easily.
What kind of wildlife did you encounter on your hike? Was there fish in the waters? Curious what kind of animals inhabit the island.
Magnifique !
Hi There. I wonder your stages were. Did you always stay at refuges or between as well?
Almost everyone goes North to South. For that reason, I did it South to North, but I don't know if it makes much difference. Noone I met could explain why they chose a particular direction...
It's done north to South because its usually easier to get to Calvi from ferrry drop off or Airport. Also north section is harder so better to do at beginning with fresh legs.
@@tgo_CBR ... and now I know! I was thinking leaving the Northern section till last gave me an opportunity to get my legs fit!
What time of the year did you go?
Beautifully filmed and edited. :-)
Thank you so much :)
Beautiful. I like it!!
Amazing! At which camps did you stay overnight on your 11 days tour?
Careful of the sharp knife! ;) Also, how do you climb the rocks with the chain?? Does not seem easy...
just pull yourself :) yeh it wasn't easy especially with a heavy backpack, but not dangerous neither as the chains are really solid haha
Beautiful video!!! Do you have some recommendation for the sleeping bag. I do have a synthetic (3°c comfort/ -3°c limit , 1kg) and a down (10°c comfort/ 5°c limit, 500g). Currently my favorite is the synthetic one. Weight is not the main issue. More the volume :)
Hi Scherry， thank you for your message. I would recommend bringing the synthetic one as the temperature can drop down dramatically at higher altitude. I took a down 0c comfort, it was perfect for me.
@@emmaoutthere Thanks for your answer!
I' m from Corsica.... And I did it...
Evviva Corsica
Corsica is amazing ! I envie you
@@emmaoutthere pace e salute ...
2:45 wowwwwwwwwwwww
that's an epic adventure, did you have the longer video. thanks.
That is once in a lifetime kind of adventure. I didn't have time ( and motivation ) yet to make a longer video to show this hike step by step.... As soon as I find some time ;)
@@emmaoutthere i see. Those bruises are just like medals for your adventure 😁, a story to tell to your friends. Take care 👍.
你好，我是一名中国学生，看了您的视频非常想去法国自由行。但是不想在城市旅行，如何才能在法国城市周边徒步或者生活呢？
Looks like you had a great trip. I'm a Munro-bagger, so extremely addicted to the Scottish Highlands. Did you "wildcamp" during your adventure on the GR 20?
yes and no, I did wild camp once but it was out of GR20 official trail: too tired to get to the next refuge & it was getting dark
Trop belle! Fo venir en Indonésie où il y a plein de volcan actives! Venez chez nous et on va faire la Java! L'île avec 15 volcans actives! 😀💃
bellissimo !
Loved your video ! Made me ache for hiking again ! by the way GR20 might not be the toughtest trail, certainly the most famous, I've heard the HRP is quite the trail (crossing the pyrenees by the highest peaks) ?
Try tour the monte rosa or tour du mont blanc. Those r pretty tough trails in switzerland.
yep that one takes a month ( or even longer I believe), the GR10 is a bit more popular, which is a part of the HRP trail.
Nice, well-made marketing clip, though little to do with what the GR20 is really about. Makes me think of swollen concepts like ‘bucket-list’. Suggestion for those who want to embark on this magnificent hike: spend some time with ‘older’ people who complete the trail in silence at the age of 75 to -yes- over 80 and listen to their stories. Put away your phones and cameras and connect to yourself, nature and people.
Amazing
2.10 is what you’re here for.
La "pietra" en récompense : la meilleure bière jamais bue !
Hahaha surtout pendant le GR20, après une grosse étape sous le soleil, ya rien de mieux ;)
Way better than the chick with the yoga pants in the truck camper.
hahahah no basic girl allowed for the GR20 ! :)
👍👍👍
Fritz geiert xD

I will visit this place one day :)
You gonna love it :)
@@emmaoutthere I'm already in love, just waiting to hug and love her more 😍😚
Wish I find a Guy who takes me on all adventures with him 👑💋🧿
Hey Emma nice video.
Thank you Hicham :)
Nice
2:12: The iphone can do that??
景色无敌
加油加油
Pourquoi on voit pas sa tête à la dame ?
parce que je ne pense jamais à filmer ma tête, De plus j'étais tout le temps avec mon tour du coup pour me protéger contre le soleil 😅
ah bravo 17kg encore une video de baulu. Il y a des refuges pour les ravitaillements, 17kg c'est vraiment dangereux, pour le corps et surtout en vu du terrain technique.
Bonjour Emilie, c'était un choix personnel en vu de mon expérience: j'ai déjà fait un trek de 10 jours avec 22kg, altitude 3700m ~ 5300m, le terrain était pas plus simple que le GR20 , et j'étais pas en difficulté ;) Sinon tu as raison il y a des refuges pour les ravitaillements, mais jaime bien mon petit déj avec la granola faite maison
Ist there a particular reason not to show you face? Makes the video as well as your insta-pics very strange...
nah, just don't feel like to hahah
Amazing
