Barefoot on Ancient Land
Trails of Water and Stone, Between Sea and Sky
- Ogliastra is not just observed from the sea; it is lived step by step. In 2026, let yourself be guided by the trails that shape this land, where every path is a dialogue between primal elements: the turquoise sea lapping against majestic cliffs and the limestone peaks brushing the sky. Excursions range from the famous coastal routes, suspended between blue and infinity, to the treks in the inner mountain massifs, realms of silence and stone.
- The Call of the Coast: Between Icons and Wilderness
- The Trail to Cala Goloritzè:
- A pilgrimage to an icon. The path descending from the Golgo Plateau leads to this jewel of the sea, crowned by its famous monolith. A hike that rewards every step with wonder.
- The Selvaggio Blu:
- More than just a trek, a rite of passage. Considered the most challenging in Italy, this epic trail winds along the Baunei coastline, an alternating rhythm of dizzying cliffs perched above the sea and passages along ancient mule tracks, where one feels small in the face of nature's primordial force.
- The Soul of the Mountain: Where Rock Meets the Sky
- The Tacchi dell'Ogliastra:
- These table-top mountains, like giant stone altars, are the silent guardians of the region. Climbing the tacchi of Ulassai or Jerzu (Monte Corongiu) means walking on the roof of the world, with panoramas embracing the sea to the horizon.
- The Gorropu Gorge:
- Known as the Sardinian "Grand Canyon", it is one of Europe's deepest gorges. Venturing between its vertical walls, on the border between Ogliastra and Barbagia, is an experience of humility and awe, in a place where time seems to have stopped at the dawn of the world.
- Other Rhythms, Other Discoveries
- Adventure in Ogliastra can also take on slower rhythms and unexpected forms. Be lulled by the Green Train (Trenino Verde), a charming railway journey that delves into the wildest and most authentic hinterland. For an even more intimate experience, choose an experiential excursion: follow the gentle pace of a donkey through the monumental vineyards of Jerzu, or spend a night under the stars with a trek that includes an overnight stay in an ancient shepherd's hut (ovile), listening to stories as old as the wind.
