What are some good huts on the GR20 in Corsica? Beyond the Views

1. The Moorish Stone in the Sky

Refuge de Ciottulu di i Mori, Corsica

This hut's name, 'Stone of the Moors,' hints at a forgotten medieval history, far from any coastline.

2. The Spasimata Bridge's Legacy

Refuge de Carrozzu, Corsica

Near this hut, the Spasimata bridge, a dizzying suspension bridge, was built by local ingenuity, not just for passage but as a test of nerve.

3. The Ancient Pine Sentinels

Refuge d'Onda, Corsica

The valley surrounding Refuge d'Onda harbors some of Corsica's oldest endemic Laricio pine forests, remnants of a primeval landscape.

4. The Glacial Water Gardens

Refuge de Manganu, Corsica

Near Refuge de Manganu, the surreal 'pozzines' of Lac de Nino are not just meadows, but ancient glacial remnants that seem to defy Corsica's rugged terrain.

5. The Bandits' Lookout Point

Refuge d'Usciolu, Corsica

Perched on a dramatic ridge, Refuge d'Usciolu's strategic position was once rumored to be a lookout point for Corsican bandits evading authorities.

6. The Mountain Portal

Refuge de Petra Piana, Corsica

Above Refuge de Petra Piana, a unique rock formation called 'La Brèche de Capitellu' was once believed to be a portal for ancient spirits.

7. The Mouflon's High Kingdom

Refuge d'Asinao, Corsica

High above Refuge d'Asinao, the rare Corsican mouflon, a wild mountain sheep, lives as a protected symbol of the island's enduring wilderness.
