GR20 Refuges & Accommodation — All 26 Stops
The GR20 crosses Corsica over 177.5 km from Calenzana in the north to Conca in the south, and every night is spent at one of 26 staffed stops: PNRC refuges, private bergeries, gîtes, hotels and two tent-only bivouac sites. Booking is mandatory for all overnight stays — including bivouac pitches — via pnr-resa.corsica for the park refuges, or directly with private operators. Wild camping is not allowed on the trail. All facility data on these pages was verified in June 2026.
