Trip Overview
After a night in a seaside hotel and a guide briefing, you'll set out on foot toward Punta Giradili. A swim in the crystal-clear sea breaks up your first day before a climb leads to a shepherd's camp and a generous Sardinian dinner. You'll follow an old mule track down toward Portu Pedrosu, then climb to a camp near Punta Salinas above the Gulf of Orosei. From there, you'll look out over Cala Goloritzè, descend to the cove for lunch and a swim, and take on your first via ferrata before camping at Su Porteddu. The route then grows more technical as exposed shepherds' paths lead to Mudaloru, followed by roped passages and abseils on the way to Ololbissi. On the final hiking day, you'll descend ropes up to 45m / 148', cross holm oak woods, and reach Cala Sisine for a well-earned celebratory dip, before a private boat returns you to Santa Maria Navarrese the following morning.
