Ulassai Village

Highlight • Settlement

The mountain village of Ulasei sticks to the rock face like a swallow's nest. The table mountains are particularly impressive. The rocky outcrops and the imposing views represent the most beautiful part of the Ogliastra.

Rocky trail between the Chillottis and the Janas Caves

Highlight • Trail

A breathtaking view of the mountains opposite. Beautiful path, which cannot be seen on the maps. The rear grotto (Janas) itself has only a few small stalactites.

After two days at the beach with a lot of swimming 😃,
again a very nice mountain tour,
with a strenuous ascent, mostly in the shady holm oak forest, great view, a lamp would have been great for the grottoes, light from the cell phone is unfortunately not enough, 🤷‍♀️ what a pity!
So sturdy shoes and a good flashlight …

Very nice tour, especially the last part along the rock face. You should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights.
Grotta Su Marmuri is not far away but can only be reached by road. It's greasy in the cave, but worth it.

The climb to Bruncu Matzeu is possible, but unfortunately not the direct route down to Ulassai. The path is closed, see photo. We walked back the same way. Great route⛰️💪🏽

A village that is absolutely worth seeing, nestled in a beautiful mountain landscape. Also very popular with climbers......... one of the most famous climbing areas in Sardinia stretches here with numerous well-secured routes.
