Park refuges and private accommodation
The GR20 refuges are run by the Corsica Regional Nature Park and staffed by wardens from mid-May to early October. You sleep on wooden sleeping platforms, without sheets or blankets (sleeping bag compulsory), with a shared kitchen, outdoor showers and a small shop. Meals are ordered from the warden on arrival.
Several stages end at private accommodation (Castel di Vergio, Vizzavona, E Capannelle, the Cuscionu plateau, Bavella, Conca), which you book directly. Find them all in the full list of accommodation.
The most sought-after refuges
Ortu di u Piobbu, Carrozzu and Usciolu are the first to fill up, and the Onda refuge has only 16 beds. Book them as soon as the platform opens and build your itinerary around them.
