Embark on the Ring tour around the municipalities of the Giara di Gesturi Park for a moderate road cycling adventure. This 34.8-mile (56.0 km) route, with 1882 feet (574 metres) of elevation gain, takes about 2 hours and 32 minutes to complete. You will cycle through rolling terrain, past extensive cork oak forests and Mediterranean scrub, enjoying panoramic views that stretch from the Gennargentu mountains to Campidano and even out to sea. Keep an eye out for the wild Giara horses, often seen roaming freely around the seasonal pools known as "paulis," which are a unique highlight of this distinctive basalt plateau.
While the route is mostly well-paved, some sections might be unpaved, so be prepared for varied road conditions. The "Via Giara from Gesturi" ascent, a 4.1 km climb with an average gradient of 6.2%, features generally good asphalt. Road traffic is typically low, and signs often alert motorists to cyclists, creating a friendly environment for your ride. The region offers favorable cycling weather almost year-round, and outside of peak season, you will find quieter roads, enhancing your experience.
This trail stands out for its unique combination of natural beauty and rich history. Beyond the chance to encounter the last wild horses of Europe, you will pass by prehistoric rock tombs, remnants of Nuragic villages, menhirs, and 32 Nuragic sites, offering a deep dive into the area's ancient past. The distinctive basalt plateau, with its unique flora and temporary lakes, provides a one-of-a-kind cycling environment that sets this route apart from others in the region.
