アルシダヌ/サンニコロダルシダーノでののおすすめグラベルライド

Excellent place to rest after the climb from Flumini Maggiore, before going downhill and partially on gravel among the cork trees

Built in the early 1900s and named after Lord Thomas Allnutt Brassey, the Naracauli Washery processed blende, the mineral from which zinc was extracted. Connected to the Gennamari and Ingurtosu mines by funiculars and railways, it was one of Sardinia's main mining facilities for decades. Dismantled in the 1970s, today its monumental remains—immersed in the landscape of the Costa Verde—are one of the most iconic images of the Sardinian Geomineral Park.

Easy ride, one-third on dirt road, beautiful view of the San Giovanni pond and Mount Arcuentu on the opposite side, you reach the archaeological area of Neapolis from the dirt road.

Between Arbus and Fiuminimaggiore, the Bidderdi Pass is a famous climb in the province of South Sardinia, including the territories of the former provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano. As you climb it, you might notice some specimens of Arbus black sheep, a native sheep species.

Intense climb and without water points, so fill your water bottles before starting the climb!

The road that runs along the Marceddì and San Giovanni lagoons is a marvel to cycle on. It is mostly flat with some slight slopes, and you can admire lake landscapes on one side (with flamingos!) and mountain landscapes on the other. If you don't want to pass through the Pistis/Torre dei Corsari valleys, this flat route is equally fascinating!

Gorgeous views, shade, great stopping point.
