Official alpine variant of the GR20 over the Punta de Pinzi Corbini at 2021m.
Good walkability, but still bring good surefootedness, in some places the hands are in demand.
Consistently beautiful view, through the ascent and descent, however, a little more exhausting than the normal variant.
In good weather definitely recommended!April 22, 2019
When visibility is good, the alpine variant of the GR 20 is absolutely worth seeing. It is marked with 2 yellow bars and is even shorter than the normal route and also has less vertical meters. Most of it is easy to walk on, only in a few places you have to use your hands to help. We left early and were able to experience the sunrise on the ridge.
