GPX tracks

Indicative data, derived from OpenStreetMap: terrain, weather, variants, closures and refuge conditions can change. Always check official information before you set off.

The GR20 is traditionally split into 16 stages, from one refuge to the next, from Calenzana (north) to Conca (south). Here you can download each of those stages as a GPX file, in both walking directions: North→South (the classic, most-walked direction) and South→North. In total the route covers about 182.4 km and +11,220 m of ascent.

Each file imports straight into a compatible GPS watch (Garmin, Suunto, Coros…) or a hiking app (Komoot, Gaia GPS, OutdoorActive…). Grab the full traverse as a single file, download a specific stage, or get everything at once with the complete ZIP.

The route comes from OpenStreetMap data (ODbL licence) and is split at the official refuges. Distances and elevation gain are indicative; on the ground your GPS will often read a little more (switchbacks, signal loss in the mountains). To see how we handle figures, check our itinerary and the planner.
