Hiking Mount Corrasi Loop – Highest Peak of the Supramonte, Oliena, Sardinia
A circular high mountain hike to the summit of Monte Corrasi (1,463 m) — the highest peak of the entire Sardinian Supramonte, rising above the Barbagia in the territory of Oliena.
One of the most panoramic and demanding excursions in the Sardinian interior.

The highest point in the Supramonte, and a view to match — Gennargentu, Barbagia, Gulf of Orosei, all at once. The approach via Iscala e Marras and Iscala e Pradu follows ancient shepherds' paths through terrain that feels genuinely remote, and in spring the wild peonies on the limestone plateau make it something else entirely.

Hiking to Tiscali Nuragic Village from Valle di Lanaittu – Supramonte di Dorgali, Sardinia

A Bronze Age village inside a collapsed mountain cave — Tiscali is one of those places that genuinely surprises you, even if you think you know what to expect. This loop from the valley floor is the most direct approach, through ancient oak woodland and up a rocky scramble to an entrance that opens onto

Vertical limestone walls rising straight from the sea, iron rungs bolted into the rock, and a summit plateau 600 metres above the Tyrrhenian — the Via degli Angeli on Tavolara is one of those routes that stays with you.

Hiking Sedda as Baccas Loop – Nuraghe Gorropu, Rio Flumineddu & Su Gorropu Canyon, Sardinia
A circular hike through the wild Supramonte di Urzulei, linking four of the most remarkable features of the Su Gorropu canyon landscape: the limestone plateau of Sedda as Baccas, the valley of the Rio Flumineddu, the ancient Nuraghe Gorropu, and the canyon access point at Sa Giuntura — the ford…

A short loop that packs in a Bronze Age nuraghe, a river crossing, ancient forest and the approach to Su Gorropu's 500-metre walls — all in under 7 km. The Flumineddu valley at Sa Giuntura is one of those places that feels genuinely remote, and the canyon entrance from this side has a quiet drama that

Hiking Monte Oro Loop from Santa Maria Navarrese – Selvaggio Blu, Ogliastra, Sardinia
A circular mountain hike from the coastal village of Santa Maria Navarrese to the summit of Monte Oro (669 m), through the wild Supramonte di Baunei — one of the most dramatic and scenically rewarding trails on the first section of the Selvaggio Blu, Italy's legendary coastal trek.

The climb from Santa Maria Navarrese to Monte Oro follows an ancient Via Crucis through the Supramonte scrub — and the reward at the top is a view that takes in the whole southern Gulf of Orosei, from Pedra Longa to the open sea.

A quiet loop around a coastal lagoon — flamingos wading in the shallows, herons standing still in the reeds, La Cinta beach visible across the water. Short enough for a morning walk, calm enough to actually see the birds. A completely different side of San Teodoro from the summer crowds.

The Valle di Lanaittu is the kind of place that takes a full day to begin to understand.

Most people reach Cala Luna along the coast from Cala Fuili.

An open-air museum on a volcanic plateau: wild horses grazing beside the path, seasonal pools reflecting the Sardinian sky, and nuraghi rising from the cork oak woodland. The Giara di Gesturi is one of those places that feels completely removed from the modern world — and the horses make it unforgettable.

The name is not an exaggeration — from the summit of Tuttavista you can see the Gulf of Orosei, the Supramonte, Monte Albo and the entire Cedrino valley at once. The approach from Galtellì passes Sa Preda Istampada, a natural arch in the limestone that frames the valley below like a painting. A short
