GR20 Completion Certificate
GR20 crosses Corsica's rugged mountain spine through granite ridges, steep passes, forest, exposed rock, and a sequence of refuges. It is commonly recorded as separate daily activities, and technical terrain or battery limits can leave gaps in otherwise credible tracks. Submit the strongest route files available, add dated photographs at refuges or distinctive mountain sections, and use booking or itinerary context where it clarifies the stage order. State the direction, start and finish, rest days, and any escape or transport section. The certificate's Corsican granite landscape is designed to recall the route while remaining independent of French or trail authorities. Every identifier uses the `GR20` code. Raw GPS, refuge details, photographs, and private messages remain outside public verification. The public page preserves only safe completion metadata.
This is an independent evidence-reviewed Verified Hikes certificate. It is not an official trail authority certificate unless explicitly marked as partner-confirmed or authority-confirmed.
Currently invite-only

Accepted evidence
Route-matched proof examples
- Daily GPS files covering the north-south or south-north progression
- Dated photographs at refuges, passes, or distinctive granite sections
- Refuge bookings or itinerary records supporting stage order
- A narrative explaining direction, weather, rest days, and any route exit
Best evidence: GPX/FIT/TCX files, a trusted activity link, dated trail photos, stamps, permits, or guide/partner confirmation. Photos alone may need supporting context. Screenshots without route or date detail are usually not enough.
Expected review level: evidence_reviewed. Most beta reviews target 2-3 working days after payment and private proof upload.
Privacy promise: raw GPS, photos, permits, contact details, and reviewer notes stay private. Public verification shows only safe certificate metadata, a short evidence summary, QR link, signature status, and PDF fingerprint.
Refund/clarification summary: if proof is incomplete, reviewers may request clarification before approval. Refund eligibility follows the refund policy and depends on review state.
This is an evidence-reviewed Verified Hikes certificate. It is not an official trail authority certificate unless explicitly marked as partner or authority confirmed.
Trail proof checklist
- GPS track file or activity link where available
- Photos at recognisable route landmarks
- Date range and completion narrative
- Permit, stamp, guide, club, or organiser confirmation where relevant
Distance and route variants are reviewed conservatively. Public pages never publish raw GPS points or private proof files.
Your proof is not your public profile.
GPS and activity files, uploaded photos, permits, stamps, guide confirmations, completion narrative, and clarification replies.
Certificate status, trail, privacy-controlled display name, dates, verification level, issue date, fingerprint, and registry signature state.
Supported route variants
State direction, start, finish, refuge sequence, weather diversions, and any skipped or transport-assisted section. The certificate ID and trail code must always use GR20, never the legacy single-letter code.
Distance is shown only when reviewed; otherwise the page uses safe variable-distance wording.
