Stop refreshing. Start packing.
Beds in GR20 refuges go fast, and cancellations don't wait for business hours. RefugeAlert watches the official availability page for you — day and night — and emails you the moment a spot opens on the refuge and date you need.
You click the link, you book it yourself on the park authority's system. That's the whole thing. No account credentials. No automatic booking. No subscription. Just an alert so you're not the hiker who missed a cancellation at 2 a.m. because you happened to be asleep.
How it works
Your watch stays active until the last date on your list has passed, or until you've found what you need.
Pricing
One trek, one payment, no subscription.
One purchase covers your entire GR20 watch: up to 13 refuge/date combinations, monitored continuously from the moment you set them up until the final watched date goes by.
If you find every bed you need on day one, great. If it takes weeks of waiting on cancellations, the price is the same. There are no tiers, no renewals, and no upsells.
RefugeAlert doesn't book anything, guarantee availability, or have any affiliation with the park authority or the official reservation system. Whether a cancellation appears — and whether you're fast enough to claim it — is outside our control. What we do is make sure you hear about it as soon as it's there.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this allowed? Are you affiliated with the park authority?
- No affiliation, and there's nothing to be "allowed" — RefugeAlert reads the same public availability page anyone can view in a browser, politely and at a low frequency. It has no partnership, data agreement, or other relationship with the Corsican park authority.
- Will I definitely get a spot if I sign up?
- No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Availability only appears when another hiker cancels. If nobody cancels on your watched refuges and dates, no alert will ever fire and your watch will simply expire. That outcome is genuinely possible. RefugeAlert gives you a faster shot at openings than manual checking does — it doesn't create openings that aren't there.
- Do you book the bed for me?
- No. RefugeAlert never books, holds, or reserves anything, and never handles your booking-account credentials. When an alert arrives, you go to the official site and book it yourself, the same way you would if you'd caught it by refreshing the page.
- How quickly will I be notified when a bed opens?
- RefugeAlert monitors at a polite, low frequency to avoid hammering the park authority's servers. There will be some lag between a cancellation appearing and your alert arriving — usually well under half an hour. Once you get the alert, move fast: other people may be watching too.
- Which refuges can I watch?
- All 13 official GR20 refuges that publish availability on the park authority's public pages. You choose the specific refuges and dates when you set up your watch — useful whether you're planning a full traverse, a partial stage, or a directional variation.
- What happens if no bed ever opens?
- Your watch runs until the last date you chose has passed, then it ends. There's no refund for a watch that doesn't fire — the price pays for the monitoring, not a guaranteed result. If cancellations don't happen on your route and dates, RefugeAlert can't manufacture them.
- Can I stop a watch early?
- Yes — every confirmation and alert email includes a link to pause or cancel each watch, no account or login required.
