Solo Hiking The GR20 | Europe's Toughest Trail | The Hard Road Will Take You Home

The Hard Road Will Take You Home.

The GR20 in Corsica is legendary—Europe’s toughest long-distance hiking trail, stretching 180km across rugged mountain terrain, testing endurance, resilience, and willpower. This film captures my solo journey through steep ascents, extreme weather, and deep self-discovery. Hiking alone, I faced exhaustion, isolation, and unpredictable conditions, yet found moments of peace, breathtaking landscapes, and an unexpected sense of community along the way.

This is more than just a hike—it’s a story of pushing limits, overcoming challenges, and reconnecting with self. Through stunning nature cinematography, I bring you the raw beauty and unforgiving reality of the GR20, sharing insights on solo travel, adventure, wellbeing, and personal growth. Whether you dream of hiking this trail yourself, seek inspiration for your own adventures, or simply love the outdoors, this film offers a powerful journey of transformation and endurance.
