When Biking Meets Hiking
The 14-Day Hybrid Crossing GR20 X GT20 is a new adventure that connects Corsica's most beautiful cycleable roads to its most emblematic hiking trails. From Bastia to Conca, you cross Corsica from north to south in 8 days of biking and 6 days of hiking. Two birds with one stone: explore two mythical routes listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
Not a big cyclist?
No problem! Our biking stages are offered with a premium electric bike (e-bike) that will allow you to do all the climbs effortlessly and leave you to marvel at the landscape.
Enjoy completely organized logistics to ensure continuity between the two practices:
- Roadbooks and GPS tools designed by field professionals.
- Bike delivery on site when you need them.
- Transfer management and partial luggage handling depending on the trip.
