On the GR20 your hands work as hard as your feet: smooth slabs, chained sections, unstable scree. A slip quickly means a fractured wrist or a gashed knee. Your medical expenses are covered up to €150,000, from the first consultation in Ajaccio or Bastia to surgery if it comes to that.
Much of the route lies hours from any drivable track, so getting an injured hiker out usually means a helicopter. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover transport from the place of the accident and then your return home, whether that is on the mainland or in another country.
Some trail runners come to the GR20 to train on technical ground before their big goals of the year. If you pin on race numbers, the Competition option covers official competition on every event and across the whole season, in France and abroad.
In 2015 a deadly rockfall led to the closure of the Cirque de la Solitude and a rerouting of the trail. The ground remains serious, and a bad fall can leave permanent disability. The disability lump sum can then reach €200,000, depending on the rate recognised.
The first stages out of Calenzana climb hard in full heat, and many hikers set off with packs that are far too heavy. Water can be scarce between huts. Then come the afternoon storms that turn the granite greasy, and the wind on the ridges. Second-week fatigue does the rest, and a single misplaced foot is enough.
For many, the GR20 is the reward for years of mountain walking. Between big traverses you still hike at weekends, at home or abroad, and accidents do not take holidays. Our hiking insurance covers you all year round, on day hikes and multi-day routes alike, whatever your country of residence.
The GR20 splits into two halves around Vizzavona. The north is rockier and more technical, the south greener but long. Most people walk it in around fifteen stages from hut to hut, and inside the regional nature park camping is only allowed close to the huts.
You lead a fifteen-day mountain traverse with long stages and nights in huts. We insure all your participants under a single policy. Medical assistance answers around the clock, 24/7, and repatriation is included. If your project needs a partner or a sponsor, we can come on board too, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Cover is attached to you, not to the full route. Whether you walk the north, the south or the whole traverse, you are insured for the period you choose, on every day you spend on the trail.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so neither hut bookings nor the ferry nor your flights are refunded. AxeoSport steps in on the consequences of a bodily injury: medical care, rescue, repatriation and disability.
Yes, it is strongly advisable. The leader's professional liability only pays out if they are at fault, not for your treatment after an ordinary fall. Your personal accident insurance is what pays for your medical care and repatriation.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. A hiker from Belgium, Switzerland or Canada is insured on the GR20 just like one from Lyon, and repatriation brings you back to your own home.
It depends on how long your traverse lasts and the options you pick. The online quote shows the exact amount in a few minutes, so do it before you book your huts and your ferry crossing.
