Our Sardinia Hiking Tours

Hiking the Island of Wonders

There is a reason why the Sardinians call their land “the island” as opposed to “the continent” - the rest of Italy; a walking holiday in Sardinia means discovering a completely different country, one with its own habits and traditions, strenuously defended and barely touched by the continental ways. 


Hiking Sardinia will take you through nuraghic ruins and snow-white beaches, deep gorges and ancient villages on the mountain top, mines and Tonnare (tuna fisheries) on volcanic islands; earth and water combine and collide, both parts of the local spirit.

It is a destination for brave-hearted and explorers, and one we couldn't recommend enough.

Sardinia's Wild Side


Gorges and cliffs

Hiking Sardinia behold white cliffs over 800 meters high and the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, shimmering with deep shades of blue. Thousands of prehistoric Nuragic towers are scattered across the landscape which you zigzag past, heading up the Monte Tiscali to discover a hidden Nuraghe village. Hike along the rough, ragged ridges of the Supramonte Mountains and follow narrow footpaths through the spectacular Gola di Gorropu gorge. Finally you head to the Gulf of Orosei, 40 km of captivating coastline - a walking holiday you'll never forget.

Coastal Walking in Sulcis


Walking on Costa Verde

When you first got here, in the region of Sardinia called Sulcis-Iglesiente you immediately feel why it is also known as Costa Verde (The Green Coast): this place is remote, wild and has an industrial-mines past that forged the landscape and the people. The island of Sant’Antioco makes the perfect final stop for this walking holiday: besides walking through stunning views and ancient watchtowers, you will have the chance to discover the many souls of Sardinia

Traditions and influences


From Liguria to Catalunya
sardinia traditions and influences archeology nuraghe

Sardinia has one among the strongest identity among the Italian regions and a unique personality shaped on traditions, legends and myth; part of its identity has been influenced by other cultures - for example the island of Carloforte, which was colonized by Ligurian people coming from the Tunisian island of Tabarka and is now home to a ligurian-speaking community. Hiking this island means immersing in a multifaceted cultural background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sardinia difficult to explore?

Sardinia is known for its beautiful sea, but has several beautifully undiscovered sides to be explored. The hiking holidays on the coast of Sardinia are a good fit for lesser trained walkers, but stability on your feet is required as you'll walk on irregular terrain. For other hikes such as Tiscali and Cala Gonone, previous hiking experience is recommended. We highly suggest that you carefully check the trip page specific to the tour you are more interested in. 

What is the best time to embark on a walking trip in Sardinia?

Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) are ideal times for these regions, thanks to the pleasant weather and fewer crowds. November is generally still nice, with warm temperatures. Summer can be very hot and is generally very busy and is not suggested. 

What kind of landscapes can I expect while hiking in Sardinia?

It depends on the kind of walking holiday that you choose - the Coastal Walks on the Green Coast, in the South-Western side of the island, offer great views of the sea, coastal villages, abandoned mines and islands. The walk through Tiscali and Cala Gonone offers a different, much wilder side made of canyons, mountains and waterfalls.
